Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a dark part of town
Where the girls get down
And I cannot wait for a chance to go
Wait for a chance to go
I've got my bad luck shoes
And every excuse to dance these blues away
Ain't coming home
I ain't coming home
[Verse 2]
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
[Verse 3]
In a dusty room
I come to assume
That I've been doomed
To lose my mind tonight
Too weak to fight
So I try to save face
And I rest my case
The judge pulls me aside
Says, c'est la vie
Let your darker side come out to feed
[Verse 4]
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
[Verse 5]
All rise
I can't do sexy
[Verse 6]
I commit the crime
Of wasting time
Always trying to rhyme
Yes, I am guilty
But don't misunderstand me
I admit defeat then I move my feet
My history will never be repeated
I won't ever be repeated
[Verse 7]
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
[Verse 8]
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
