[00:24.03]Being kept after hours behind closed doors
[00:26.22]You get reprimanded for bad behavior
[00:31.14]And you ain't got no choice but to wait the time
[00:34.92]Meanwhile you contemplate the idea of escape
[00:36.96]CHORUS: Detention - detention - detention
[00:46.98]Well I can't wait any longer
[00:51.33]You won't receive any sympathy
[00:58.65]From those around you 'cuz you're in too deep
[01:00.87]So it's up to you to make your move
[01:05.73]When his back is turned you fly out that door
[01:44.01]CHORUS So the chase begins down the corridor
[01:47.34]Up and down the stairs you're runnin' everywhere
[01:51.84]And there's no way out when you've been confined
[01:57.42]To an institution where they play with your mind
[01:59.85]Detention (4x) yaaaaa!
[02:22.02]You ain't got no choice but to surrender!
[02:23.94]Detention (8x)

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

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!
