(I ain't coming home)

[Bridge: x2]
There's a dark part of down
Where the girls kick down
And I cannot wait for a chance to go
Wait for a chance to go
I've got my bad luck shoes and every excuse
To dance these blues away
Ain't coming home
I ain't coming home

[Hook: x2]
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court

[Verse]
In a dusty room I come to assume
That I've been doomed
To lose my mind tonight
To weak to fight
So I try to save face and I rest my case
The judge pulls me aside, says, "C'est la vie
Let your darker side come out to feed"

I commit the crime of wasting time
Always trying to rhyme
Yes, I am guilty
But don't misunderstand me
I admit defeat then I move my feet
My history will never be repeated
I won't ever be repeated

[Hook: x2]
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court

(A kangaroo court)
(A kangaroo court)
(A kangaroo court)
(A kangaroo court)
(A kangaroo court)

[Hook: x4]
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It's a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
