Paterson- Sunshine In Suburbia

Paterson- sunshine in suburbia by americus Paterson, a poet, he's charming and he knows it Paterson, a man, he's got a life with a plan Sunshine in suburbia, searching for euphoria Paterson drives a bus, and swears a censored cuss Write me into a poem, sing me a hymn Make my life want to begin Now while Paterson's life may be mundane, he lives a life without pain Rip my feminism away from me, being ignorant is being free Children will scream, and break your aquarium Living life like it's vivarium Sunshine in suburbia can you believe it?! All the crimes you didn't commit Smashing the glass ceiling along with my skull Is life more simple when it's dull? Working a job, nine to five Is this really why we are alive.
