He's a patriot and a sports fan
He's a real American
Supports the troops with a magnet on his car
He sends his kids to college
So one day they'll go far
Ge goes to church every Sunday
To worship his wholey god of money
His family is blessed with material wealth
And he just wants to kill himself
Death in suburbia
Under blue skies
The grass is always greener on the otherside
He loves his country, he loves his wife
He's been saving money his whole life
His lovely daughter is 10 years old
She believes in everything she's been sold
She studies hard to pass the test
So she can fit in with all the rest
Popularity can be exhausting, but god she tries
But still people don't always like her and so she cries
She swallows a handful of pills
And she dies...
Death in suburbia
Under blue skies
The grass is always greener on the otherside
So proud of his only son
Fighting for peace with a gun
Defending the American way and the honor of pride
He backs the cause 'til it's his son who has died
He's a real American
