Lyrics

La, da, la, ah da-a-ah (Repeat)
Things are fine...in the Burbs

Mini mansions all in a row, God only knows what goes on behind those doors./Kids playing with matches firing up their blunts. Sister's in the bathroom, throwing up her lunch.

Chorus; Here in the "Burbs" things are wonderful, Here in the Burbs things are fine...in the 'Burbs"

If we could take a look, what would we see. I'll welcome you into my dwelling, inspired by HGTV.

Chorus: Here in the "Burbs" things are wonderful, Here in the Burbs things are marvelous, here in the Burbs, things are fine...

Here in the Burbs, Mom wears the pants, the babysister's taking care of dad.

Chorus: Here in the "Burbs" things are wonderful, Here in the Burbs things are marvelous, here in the Burbs, here in the Burbs, here in the burbs things are fine...
