Have You Had Enough
Fastbacks Lyrics

The Fastbacks' song Have You Had Enough nicely captures the feeling of despair when things just don't seem to go your way. The opening lines, "Sometimes life gets so miserable, It isn't fair, and it doesn't care," paint a vivid picture of feeling stuck in a rut with no end in sight. The repetition of "Nothing goes the way you wanted to, Nothing new and nothing else to do now" further emphasizes this sense of hopelessness and despair.

However, the chorus injects a note of encouragement with the lyrics "And when you've had enough, You can call me up, Have you had enough? You can call me up!" This suggests that even in the darkest of times, there is someone you can turn to for support, whether it be a friend, family member or therapist. The overall message of the song seems to be one of hope in the face of adversity.

Interestingly, the song also seems to comment on the modern condition of feeling constantly busy and exhausted. The lines "Wasting time and being tired, We're also tired of being tired of, Wasting time this precious time" place a spotlight on the rat race of modern life, and the idea that time is a precious commodity that should be used wisely.

Overall, The Fastbacks' song Have You Had Enough is a powerful anthem for anyone feeling overwhelmed or stuck in a rut, offering hope and support to those who need it most.
