Testo Good Excuse - John Butler Trio

Good Excuse

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 go on
Take another better look around
You are just another white boy
Thinking your so hardcore
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
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, 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 game boy 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
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
