Good Excuse

All around I see raining

Things don't seem to go my way

Got a dark cloud that's hanging

And it seems to follow me

Oh won't you just wake up

Feel the humming

This cruel world is killing you

Better start running

Catch up with your life, catch on up

Before the whole thing is through

Have you once? Have you twice?

Have you even considered

It be really good for you

To go out and go on

Take another better look around

You are just another white boy

Thinking you're so hardcore

Take step outside see what's shaking in the real world

Go take a step outside see what's shaking in the real world

But you don't know

How my heart laments

I really got a good excuse

To complain

My parents got divorced

Can't heal the pain

And now there is only cheap regrets

I guess that's just the way it be

Is it the world or how I see me

Boy now you are really, really bugging

Yes you are bugging me

Can't you just shut right up

Your cup is overflowing, overflowing

And you think it is indeed

You don't even know what side

You are fighting for

Boy won't you turn your game boy off

Start pretending

It's you against the world

I am sick and I am tried of hearing

I really got a good excuse to complain

My parents got divorced

Can't heal the pain

And now there is only cheap regrets

I guess that's just the way it be

Is it the world or how I see me

Go take a step outside see what's shaking in the real world
