I Wanna Be Sedated Lyrics
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport and 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 ho
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
Just put me in a wheelchair
And 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 ho

This has to be the catchiest song ever fucking written, I could listen to this song over and over again.

This song was written by Joey Ramone (Jeffry Hyman) when he had to go to the hospital because he spilled boiling water on himself and got some burns. (he inhaled steam to clear his sinuses) I read that somewhere, I forget where. I'm like a sponge of useless facts. :)
It's in his biography written by his brother, I know that.

i looked up what sedated meens and i got this sedated adj : under the influence of a sedative drug so i think its about him taking a pill and losing his mind and control

Look at his name.. need4creed, a name for a band that is (thankfully) no longer existant. NFG sucks a big one compared to the Ramones. The Ramones would kick their ass I bet if they could of got a chance.

I don't claim to be any kind of expert on the Ramones, but it pisses me off when this is the only song people know by them and they act like they're so clever for knowing it.

way to spell liar wrong. :) It was just an opinion, you don't have to be so hostile. (By the way, were you going to explain how you know that it's about capital punishment for a fact or were you just stating it to sound impressive?)

Alice Cooper - Elected

I used to think it's just a party party kind of punk song. But yesterday I finally paid attention to the lyrics.
IMO it's quite obviously about drug/alcohol withdrawal. The 'character' or the band has some empty time to do nothing with, no concert, no party. And the character gets extremely anxious because of the lack of "sedation" or drugs.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, before I go insane I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain"
Having quite some personal experience myself, ^this is just a spot on description of the ordeal. So yeah I think it's a more serious message hidden under the very cheerful melodies and rhythms.

this song brings back memories

The Ramones are the best!
