Sick of You Lyrics
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I want to fly away (x2)
I'm so sick of work, so sick of play
I don't need another day
I'm so sick of work, so sick of play
I don't need another day
I need a hideaway (x2)
Oooooh!
(Hey hey hey!)
Oooooh!
Every shiny toy that at first brings you joy
Will always start to coy and annoy
Every camera, every phone, all the music that you own
Won't change the fact you're all alone
(All alone!)
Every piece of land, every city that you plan
Will crumble into tiny grains of sand
Everything you find that at first seems to shine
Always turns into the same old grind
(Same old grind!)
I want to fly away (x2)
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
Every little dance, every end of that romance
All alone (all alone)
All alone (all alone)
Everything you find that at first seems to shine
Always turns into the same old grind
I don't want to be with you
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I don't need another day
I'm so sick of work, so sick of play
I don't need another day
Oooooh!
(Hey hey hey!)
Oooooh!
Will always start to coy and annoy
Every camera, every phone, all the music that you own
Won't change the fact you're all alone
(All alone!)
Every piece of land, every city that you plan
Will crumble into tiny grains of sand
Everything you find that at first seems to shine
Always turns into the same old grind
(Same old grind!)
I don't want to be with you
I'm so sick of you, so sick of me
I don't want to be with you
All alone (all alone)
All alone (all alone)
Everything you find that at first seems to shine
Always turns into the same old grind

According to lead singer John McCrea, this song is "about how when you hate things, the circle of hate starts rather broadly. You hate the President or a big movie star, someone you'll probably never meet. Gradually though, the circle tightens and the objects of hate get closer and closer to the hater. Now it's your uncle or your mother, now it's your close friend, and finally it's you. Bummer."
All in all, it's an awesome song... Nothing has changed about their sound over the years and given all the band's that have changed their sound, it's refreshing that someone is going against the industry and staying true to themselves.
if the rest of the album is like this, then i sure do have high hopes for this album!
Part of this at least seems to be about obsession with new things. The singer points out that everything will be the same in the end, so these things don't even really matter in the long run.
I feel identified with this song is because right now I feel identified with this song because I feel sick of work without any other motivation than money, to pay a car and all the things that I really don't need, and I'm sick of hearing about politics and the same crap that they try to sell us everyday, and most of all I feel sick of Bethany my ex girlfriend, who just told me she's pregnant and if t's true, I'm not the father, so like the song, sick of all and wanna fly away.
