A Real Nice Place to Raise Your Kids Up In
a suburban rap by Sara Mortimer & Brett Boyd
big laughs, small eyes, boys on the prowl
lowriders, big trucks, exhaust-pipe howls
hanging out at Taco Bell
arcades, malls, Saturday hell
straight outta Palmdale
rocket on wheels
alone in the night
while the radio squeals
stucco arches shine like bones
no roads here lead home
you're a man with a can in your hand
boots & Marlboros & parachute pants
you make your automatic pass
at the girl with the fake nails and the tattoed ass
patriotism is Ronald Reagan
the B-2 bomber is graceful like a raven
family values come by the square yard
if father knows best why's he work so hard?
straight outta Palmdale
rocket on wheels
alone in the night
while the radio squeals
stucco arches shine like bones
no roads here lead home
Sara Mortimer & Brett Boyd
are refugees from Palmdale, a desert suburb of Los Angeles.
