Fed Up!
The Judges Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It took its toll on me and all my friends
Now I'm tired of settling for less and playing the fool
Keep it away, I'm trying to keep my cool
And I'm fed up, fed up
You say I'm not cool, because I'm choosing my friends
I'm denying some rights, so you'd better keep it clear
Because you step on mine whenever you are near
And I'm fed up, fed up
Smoking that butt, it makes you mature
A slave to sex, and you tell me you're pure
You slam that beer, it makes you a man
I'll try to keep my cool, but you better understand
