Good Excuse - John Butler Trio

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
