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 ''cause 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)
