I'm Sick And Tired
GRAHAM LARRY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sick and tired, can't take no more
I can't take no more
I'm sick and tired, can't take no more
I can't take no more

I've had my share of sadness
And I've had some misery
And I've seen my share of badness
Now it's worse than it used to be
Everyone's money is funny
We can't hardly buy gas, no
It can't keep goin' like this, y'all
'Cause we're goin' nowhere fast, hey-hey

I know there's better days ahead
With plenty of love and peacе instead
But in the meantimе, this is on my head, ohh
Oh

I'm sick and tired, can't take no more
I can't take no more
I'm sick and tired, can't take no more
I can't take no more

I've already gone my limit
And my back is up against the wall
My patience is all but run out
And I can't find no work at all
Everyone's feelin' the pressure
And there's tension in the air, hmm
And those temporary so-called escapes, y'all
Take can't take us anywhere, hey-hey

I know there's better days ahead
With plenty of love and peace instead
But in the meantime, this is on my head, ohh
Oh

I'm sick and tired, can't take no more
I can't take no more
I'm sick and tired, can't take no more
I can't take no more
I'm sick and tired, can't take no more
I can't take no more
I'm sick and tired, can't take no more
I can't take no more

Well, I'm sick and tired
I can't take no more
I'm sick of bein' hungry
Tired of bein' poor
I got bill collectors on my back
And the unemployment office don't
Know how to act
It's been thirteen months since I had a job
Times are gettin' rough
My head is gettin' hard
I'm sick, tired, broke, fired
I know you feel the same
So you might as well sing

I'm sick and tired, can't take no more
I can't take no more, every sing it




I'm sick and tired, can't take no more
I can't take no more, no more
