The Bones are a band from Karlskrona, Sweden. Since the kick-off back in '96, these guys have been on stage several hundred times all over Europe putting on an amazing performance. But the rise to success started in the fall of 1997 when they released "The Horrorway E.P." (own label), which sold out in just a few months. This success drove the guys to put out a second mini-album titled "Six feet down and two fingers up". During the recording-sessions for "Six feet down, two fingers up", the band was contacted by the german label " People like you Records (sublabel to Century Media Records).and in the summer of '99 The Bones signed the contract. The rock'n'roll circus was about to take off! Not content with this they also signed with german booking-agency, MAD. This crazy carousel made way for their first full-length album "Screwed, blued and tattooed" which, in turn, resulted in the band touring all over Europe gaining new fans wherever they went. The Bones was rattling the cage, making some noise

In the spring of 2002 The Bones released their second album "Bigger than Jesus", again the guys recorded at the PAMA-studio backed-up by "People like you". Great reviews were echoing from all over Europe but the album also attracted some great feedback from the U.S. Touring has continued and the band has headlined several festivals and toured arenas together with Die Toten Hosen. Live The Bones have also supported bands like D.A.D, U.S. Bombs for a whole european tour, shared stages with Motörhead, Roger Miret & The Disasters, 999, Angelic Upstarts, Cockney Rejects and so on... As you can see this is band a that play to live and live to play - down to the bone!

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go
I want to be sedated
Nothing to do, no where to go, oh
I want to be sedated

Just get me to the airport, put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain

Oh no oh oh oh oh

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh no oh oh oh oh

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes
Oh no oh oh oh oh

Just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes
Oh no oh oh oh oh

Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I want to be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I want to be sedated

Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I want to be sedated

Overall Meaning

The song "I Wanna Be Sedated" by The Ramones is a fast-paced, high-energy rock song that captures the feeling of being trapped in a monotonous routine and longing for an escape from it all. The first two lines of the song, "Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go, I want to be sedated," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is counting down the hours until they can finally break free from their mundane existence and find some relief in sedation.

The rest of the song is a series of frantic pleas to be whisked away to somewhere, anywhere, that will offer some excitement and stimulation. The lyrics include references to air travel, wheelchairs, and shows, all of which suggest a desperate need for something to happen, anything to happen, that will shake up the singer's world and offer some sort of reprieve from the boredom and frustration of their life.

The repeated refrain of "Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I want to be sedated" reinforces the sense of urgency and desperation that runs throughout the song. The Ramones deliver the lyrics with their signature high-energy, punk rock sound, creating a sense of chaotic intensity that perfectly captures the sense of restless longing that the song is all about.
