Good Excuse

(Album: Grand National - 2007)

All around I see raining
Things don't seem to go my way
God a dark cloud is hanging
And it seems to follow me

Boy, won't you just wake up
Hear the humming
This cool world is giving 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 would be good for you
To go out and take another look around
You are just another white boy
Thinking your so hardcore
Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world

Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step out side and see what's shaking in the real world

But you don't know how my heart laments
I've Really got a good excuse to complain
My parents got divorced can't heal the pain
Now there is only cheap regrets
I guess that's just the way it be

Is it world, how I see me

Boy now you are really bugging
Really bugging
Yes you are bugging me
Can't you just shut right up
Your cup is overflowing
Overflowing
And you think it is too deep
You don't even know what side
You are vouching for
Boy would you turn your Gameboy off
Stop pretending 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 and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
Go take a step outside and see what's shaking in the real world
[solo]

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