Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna 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
Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
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
Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
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
Twenty, twenty, twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
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

Straight from the mouth of Joey Ramone:
There's an album called, "In Their Own Words, Vol. 1" which is a compilation of various artist’s performances at The Bottom Line. On this album, Joey Ramone talks about what prompted this song. In summary, he wrote the song when he was touring in England at Christmas time when everything was shut down, and he and a band mate were in their hotel watching The Guns of Navarone on the television. They found it ironic that they were rock stars in England with absolutely nothing to do but watch an American movie. Hence the lyrics, “Nothing to do. Nowhere to go. I wanna be sedated”.
