Lyrics for Album: Over the Hedge [Soundtrack] [2006]
Rockin'? the Suburbs (Over the Hedge Version) [Ben Folds featuring William Shatner]
Let me tell y'all what it's like
Watching idol on a friday night
In a house built safe and sound
On indian burial ground
Sham On
We drive our cars everyday
To and from work both ways
So we make just enough to pay
To drive our cars to work each day
We're rocking the suburbs
Around the block just one more time
We're rocking the suburbs
Cause I can't tell which house is mine
We're rocking the suburbs
We part the shades and face facts
They got better looking Fescue
Right across the cul de sac
Hot real estate rising stars
Get rich quick seminars
Soap opera magazines
40,000 watt nativity scenes
Don't freak about the smoke alarm
Mom left the TV dinner on
Yet we're rocking the suburbs
From Donahues to Chevy Chase
We're rocking the suburbs
We numb the muscles in our face
We're rocking the suburbs
Feed the dog and mow the lawn
Watching mommy balance the checks
While daddy juggles credit cards
[William Shatner:]
We're rocking the suburbs
Everything we need is here
We're rocking the suburbs
But it wasn't here last year
We're rocking the suburbs
You'll never know when we are gone
Because the timer lights the pond
And turn the cricket noises on each night
Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs
Yeah, yeah, we're rocking the suburbs

Rockin' the Suburbs
Ben Folds' 'Rockin' the Suburbs' serves as a vibrant centerpiece on the 2006 animated film soundtrack for 'Over the Hedge.' Characterized by Folds' signature acoustic guitar work and upbeat pop-rock arrangement, the track captures the energetic spirit of the movie's suburban setting. Released alongside other original compositions by the artist for the film, including 'Heist' and 'Still,' the song exemplifies Folds' ability to blend folk sensibilities with contemporary pop structures. As a key component of the 'Over the Hedge' soundtrack, the recording reflects the mid-2000s era of animated musical scoring, where original songs were integral to character development and narrative pacing. The piece remains a notable example of Folds' discography within the animated film genre. |
