Good Excuse

All around I see rainin'
Things don't seem to go my way
Got a dark cloud that's hangin'
And it seems to follow me
Boy, won't you just wake up?
Hear the hummin'
This cool world is givin' you
Better start runnin'
To catch up with your life
Catch on up
Before the whole thing is through

Have you once, have you twice
Have you even considered
The good boy you took out here gone
Take another better look around
You are just another white boy
Thinkin' you're so hot

Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' in the real world
Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' in the real world
Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' 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 buggin'
Yes you are buggin' me
Can you just shut right up?
Your cup is overflowin'
Overflowin'
And you think it is empty

You don't even know what side
You are fightin' for
Boy, won't you turn your game boy off
Stop pretendin' it's you against the world
I am sick and I am tired
Of hearing you always say
I really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced, can't heal the pain

Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' in the real world
Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' in the real world
Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' in the real world
Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' in the real world

Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' in the real world
Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' in the real world
Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' in the real world
Go take a step outside
See what's shakin' in the real world
