Exploring the themes of judgment and societal expectations, "Kangaroo Court" by Capital Cities delves into the internal conflict of an individual striving to conform while battling personal demons. The repetitive chorus, "Shut up, shut up, shut up / Sit up, sit up, sit up," portrays the oppressive nature of societal norms where voices are silenced 🤐 and obedience is demanded. The term 'kangaroo court' itself suggests a mock trial where fairness is disregarded and outcomes are predetermined. This song captures the struggle against unjust scrutiny and the desire to break free from constraining labels that often lead one to a dance of defiance against conformity 🕺.
Kangaroo Court
Lyrics
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 got my bad luck shoes and every excuse to dance these blues away
Ain't coming home
I ain't coming home
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
In a dusty room I come to assume
That I've been doomed to lose my mind tonight
Too weak to fight
So I tried 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
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
All rise
I can't do sexy
I commit the crime of wasting time
Always trying to rhyme, yes I am guilty
Don't misunderstand me
I admit defeat, then I move my feet
My history will never be repeated
I won't ever be repeated
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
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
