But the wife gets up and puts on her uniform
You hear her in the bathroom 'cause she's got that nagging cough
You put your head under the pillow to forget you've been laid off

Suburban King, Suburban King
You had it printed on your van 'cause it had a pretty ring, Suburban King

The union man said you would be recalled
But the company up and moved to Taiwan
You counted on the Pension Plan, but you were outta luck
The union says you only qualify for twenty-five bucks

Suburban King, Suburban King
You had it printed on your van 'cause it had a pretty ring
Suburban King, Suburban King
Your American Dream didn't mean a thing, Suburban King
