LOU REED - Sick of You lyrics

rate me

I was up in the morning with the TV blarin'

brush my teeth sittin' watchin' the news

All the beaches were closed the ocean was a Red Sea

but there was no one there to part in two

There was no fresh salad because there's hypos in the cabbage

Staten Island disappeared at noon

And they say the midwest is in great distress

and NASA blew up the moon

The ozone layer has no ozone anymore

and you're gonna leave me for the guy next door

I'm Sick of You

I'm Sick of You

They arrested the Mayor for an illegal favor

sold the Empire State to Japan

And Oliver North married William Secord

and gave birth to a little Teheran

And the Ayatollah bought a nuclear warship

if he dies he wants to go out in style

And there's nothing to eat that don't carry the stink

of some human waste dumped in the Nile

We one thing is certainly true

no one here knows what to do

And I'm Sick of You

I'm Sick of You

The radio said there were 400 dead

in some small town in Arkansas

Some whacked out trucker drove into a nuclear reactor

and killed everybody he saw

Now he's on Morton Downey and he's glowing and shining

doctors say this is a medical advance

They say the bad makes the good and there's something to be learned

in every human experience

Well I know one thing that really is true

this here's a zoo and the keeper ain't you

And I'm sick of it

I'm Sick of You

They ordained the Trumps and then he got the mumps

and died being treated at Mt. Sinal

And my best friend Bill died from a poison pill

some wired doctor prescribed for stress

My arms and legs are shrunk the food all has lumps

they discovered some animal no one's ever seen

It was an inside trader eating a rubber tire

after running over Rudy Giuliani

They say the President's dead but no one can find his head

it's been missing now for weeks

But no one noticed it he had seemed so fit

and I'm Sick of it

I'm Sick of You

I'm so Sick of You, bye, bye, bye

Bye, bye, bye
