John Butler Trio
Текст песни 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 hard core.
Take step outside see what's shaking in the real world.

Go take a 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 an only cheap regret.
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 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 shaking in the real world,
Go take a step outside see what's shaking in the real world.
Go take a step outside see what's shaking in the real world,
Go take a step outside see what's shaking in the real world.
