Lyrics
Detention
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Being kept after hours behind closed doors
You get reprimanded for bad behavior
And you ain't got no choice but to wait the time
Meanwhile you contemplate the idea of escape
Chorus:
Detention - detention - detention
Well i can't wait any longer
You won't receive any sympathy
From those around you 'cuz you're in too deep
So it's up to you to make your move
When his back is turned you fly out that door
Chorus
So the chase begins down the corridor
Up and down the stairs you're runnin' everywhere
And there's no way out when you've been confined
To an institution where they play with your mind
Detention (4x) yaaaaa!
You ain't got no choice but to surrender!
Detention (8x)
