Lyrics The John Butler Trio

The 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 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
