White girl living in the big city
In a big apartment house
She's living with her boyfriend now

She drives off every day for school and work
She washes dishes now
And watches tv on the pull out couch

And every day's the same

White girl moved back to the suburbs
And she finally found a man
Who knows how to take care of her

She bought the perfect little house
And the lawn's well manicured
And she'd never missed a day of work

And every day's the same

White girl couldn't go on knowing
She was just here wasting her time
She drowned in the lake last night

They found her bloated body floating
But she still walks around
Performing all her daily chores

She still don't know what life's about

Cause every day's the same
And she's got no one to love

    General Comment:this song is so badass

    the lyrics start out all calm and happy then it gets to the end and it makes me feel like ben was like a really good writer lyrically

    oh and it was on the Buddha re-release. not on the original buddha. thats how ppl think it was from the same year.

    General Comment:dude, ben weasel is apunk rock god. he's toured with green day, in fact the riverdales(weasels side band with vapid and panic,) went on tour with green day. look at billie joes arm and you'll see a '27' the logo of the riverdales and on dirnts arm is a weasel tatoo. moreover, dirnt played wiht weasel on how to make enemies and irritate people. they were gods at gilmore street way befare green day even came aroun. if you actually get the change to go there youll see the writtings on the wall from op ivy, mtx and weasel.

    General Comment:I haven't heard the original but I love this song. I will check out the original but there's no need to be so bloody angry if we didn't know it was a cover. As undead said, do you realise that you've been leaning on the caps lock key?

    General Comment:Blink actualy recorded this song around 1996, after the original buddha demo was recorded. That's why it sounds so different from the rest of the album.

    General Comment:DUDE! I THINK YOU MUGHT HAVE SAT ON THE CAPS LOCK KEY. THERE'S NO NEED TO BE SO FUCKING LOUD! Anyhoo, I like this song because it shows the way that some people live such mundane and ordinary lives, it's almost depressing. This song is a bit like '1985' by Bowling for Soup (and, no, I'm not going to say: 'BOWLIN 4 SOOP FUCKIN ROX! BLINK SUX!'), where you have this woman who was going to be a superstar model groupie, and ends up married to some guy with two kids living in the suburbs. Unless you realise your dreams and do something about them, you're going to end up like those chicks.
