Get Out Of This House

Go jump in the lake, go ride up the hill

Get out of this house

It's a house of your making, it's a house of ill will

Get out of this house

Go listen to Buddha, go listen to Joe

Get out of this house

If anyone asks, you tell them you don't know

Get out of this house

I spent 11 long years in a hothouse zone

I spent 29 more trying to get home

Well, I never got home, but I did what I did

And I got myself this house, and you can't come in, oh

Yeah

Get out of this house

Get out of this house

I'm the queen of my castle, I'm the king of my room

Get out, get out of this house

I got more than I need, more than I ever could use

Get out, get out of this house

I spent 17 years trying to save my soul

I spent 23 more down in the hole

Now my soul is all right, but I might get found out

And I got myself this house now, and I can't get ou-out

Get out of this house

Get out of this house

If I see you again, it will be in my head at the end of a cloud

If you see me again, it will be in your head telling you to get out

You act like a baby, you talk like a fool

Get out of this house

Go back to your mama, go back to high school

Get out of this house

Go jump in the lake, go jump out the door

Get out, get out of this house

I've had all I can stand, and I can't stand no more

Get out, get out of this house

Get out of this house
