Detention

Lyrics

I'm not a bad guy
 ♪
 So don't treat me bad if I'm feeling sad, alright?
 Please don't be mad if I don't smile back, alright?
 If I - up my words, don't think I'm absurd, alright?
 Alright?
 I'm physically exhausted
 Tired of my knuckles beating
 I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness
 Can't you see it?
 You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
 Don't care how I'm feeling
 You write me up and say it's love
 And I can't believe it
 Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
 I can feel your blood pressure rise, - this tension
 Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
 Pretending everything's alright is detention
 De-de-tention
 De-de-tention
 Pretending everything's alright is (shh)
 The teachers don't care about me
 - How I feel as long as I make money-ey-ey-ey
 They let them do whatever they want to me
 They're the customer, I'm chopped meat
 I'm chopped meat
 I'm physically exhausted
 Tired of my knuckles beating
 I'm chewing gum to pass this time of sadness
 Can't you see it?
 You're too busy seeking selfish wishes
 Don't care how I'm feeling
 You write me up and say it's love
 And I can't believe it
 Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
 I can feel your blood pressure rise, - this tension
 Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
 Pretending everything's alright is detention
 De-de-tention
 De-de-tention
 Pretending everything's alright is detention
 I wanna go home and you say, "Now is not the time"
 Being all alone in back of the classroom, ah
 Start calling up my phone tryna say that I've been out of line
 When all I ever asked was to go to the bathroom
 ♪
 Baby, can you meet me tonight in detention?
 I can feel your blood pressure rise, - this tension
 Let me crawl up into your mind, did I mention?
 Pretending everything's alright is detention
 Tonight, I can feel your blood pressure rise
 Let me crawl up into your mind
 Pretending everything's alright (is detention)
