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)
