Joe Andrews - King of Suburbia Lyrics




Born within immortal eyes, raised to feed the heavens he once sought
Shaped into a local prize, glorified for everything he's not
Made from every color of delight, keep him on the highest shelf
Where common people gaze into the night, see the failures in themselves

But have you met the King of Suburbia?
He's locked and ready to go
To change your way of life, and we praise him down below

I think it's funny, but the jokes on you
Yeah, you've all been fooled
'Cause the King of Suburbia is just old news
He's a myth that grew
From a past "who's who"
Now he's caught in a tangle where the best can lose

Never lost his train of thought, his followers will keep his mind on track
Gave his soul to friends the aura bought, and this time he won't get it back

He's underneath the wings of an Icarus
And his fans just follow the sun
But when he sees the wax, he will know the fame has won

I think it's funny, but the jokes on you
Yeah, you've all been fooled
'Cause the King of Suburbia is just old news
He's a myth that grew
From a past "who's who"
Now he's caught in a tangle where the best can lose

(Hey now, hey now) This is what you tried to tell me?
(Hey now, hey now) To never let the legend sell me?
(Hey now, hey now) So why'd you go and set him free?
(Hey now, hey now) It's too late now, he's taken over
(Hey now, hey now) Humility? I hardly know her
(Hey now, hey now) I'm everything a man can be

I think it's funny, but the jokes on you
Yeah, you've all been fooled
'Cause the King of Suburbia is just old news
He's a myth that grew
From a past "who's who"
Now he's caught in a tangle where the best can lose

The jokes on you
All the people who
Trust the Kings of Suburbia and just get screwed
What's a man to do
When he always knew
That the Kings of Suburbia are human too
