Sick and Tired

I've uttered those words so many times and used them so many times in songs I used to write.

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

A saying that has echoed inside my head for years

So many times I've used those words

To express my state of life

Today is one of those days

Right now more than ever

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

Of a futureless job

Without a pay raise or benefits

But my bills keep getting higher

With no end in sight

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

Of being everyone's superhero

Being the one who's always around

Yet they're missing

When I'm the one that needs help

Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired

Of all these damn voices in my head

Bringing me down

Telling me I'm the loser

Trying to infect me with hate and rage

I refuse to go down that road.

Author's Note

Yeah I'm not sure about this one. I kind of just went off.

wow i liked this, so raw and real and speaks of the modern times and how
people in general can be, the reciprocating line is classic
and expresses a sense of knowledge, an understanding into
philosophic detonation, you have a great way with words jeff, keep it up.
