Suburban Home/I Like Food (The Descendents cover) Lyrics

I want to be stereotyped
I want to be classified
I want to be a clone
I want a suburban home suburban home
suburban home suburban home
I want to be masochistic
I want to be a statistic
I want to be a clone
I want a suburban home suburban home
suburban home suburban home
I don't want no hippie pad
I want a house just like mom and dad
I want to be stereotyped
I want to be classified
I want to be masochistic
I want to be a statistic
I want to be a clone
I want a suburban home suburban home
suburban home suburban home
I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good!
Juicy burgers, greasy fries,
Turkey legs and raw fish eyes
Teenage girls, with ketchup too!
Get out of my way, or I'll eat you
I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good!
It's time to turn dining
Back into eating
I like food, food tastes good!
I like food, food tastes good

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This cover is a travesty. I feel sorry for the Descendents.

It's a heap of shit. The Descendents would be turning in their grave if they were dead.

Well put, infotainment lad. I heard the Suburban home riff coming from the TV in my living room and looked in to see what was going on and I heard some horrible pop-emo-poser-rock cover of it and wanted to cry into my Milo Goes To College CD.

how is this song a bad cover? it sounds the same except faster. The Descendents would always be better but Taking Back Sunday did a pretty good job with it. Adam just changed the vocal range.

i don't see why this is such a disaster. yeah, the descendents are great. and yeah, this song is great by them.

are you people just like, not open for change or something? just cuz it's not the same genre of music doesn't make it horrible.

you little narrow-minded jerks, open up your mind to more than one type of music.
