Capital Cities
Kangaroo Court
[Verse 1: Ryan Merchant & Sebu Simonian]
There’s a dark part of town where the girls get 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 comin' home
I ain’t comin' home
[Chorus: Ryan Merchant & Sebu Simonian]
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
[Verse 2: Ryan Merchant & Sebu Simonian]
In a dusty room I come to assume
That I’ve been doomed to lose my mind tonight
Too weak to fight
So I try to save face then I rest my case
The judge pulls me aside, says, “C’est la vie
Let your darker side come out to feed”
[Chorus: Ryan Merchant & Sebu Simonian]
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
[Bridge: Tamar Simonian]
“All rise...
I can't do sexy”
[Trumpet Solo & Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3: Ryan Merchant & Sebu Simonian]
I commit the crime of wastin' time
Always tryna 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
[Chorus: Ryan Merchant & Sebu Simonian]
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Sit up, sit up, sit up
It’s a kangaroo court
A kangaroo court
