Sick and Tired
Yearning for Redemption: Battling Struggles in Ben Burgess' 'Sick and Tired'
Lyrics
Lord, I pray they'll come a day
Expressing a hope for a future day.
When the stars fall from the sky
Symbolizing a significant event, possibly a positive change.
And every wish my baby makes
Desiring that the wishes of a loved one come true.
Comes true a thousand times
Wishing for the fulfillment of those wishes many times over.
'Cause I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
Expressing weariness and frustration.
Wondering when this fever gon' break
Anticipating relief from a challenging situation.
It feels like we're all slow off the draw
Feeling like everyone is slow to react.
'Cause the bad guy keeps getting away
Frustration with the escape of a villain or troublemaker.
Yeah
Expressing agreement or affirmation.
Yeah, amen, uh
Further affirmation or agreement.
Yeah
Repetition of affirmation.
Down here y'all, it's getting pretty hot
Describing a tense or difficult situation.
You might get saved, you might get shot
Highlighting the unpredictability of life.
Preacher man sneak around steal your girl
Warning about potential betrayal or loss.
Son, this ain't your mama's world, amen
Indicating a changed and challenging world.
Yeah, I'm sippin' on cold one hoping it will numb that
Trying to numb emotional pain with a drink.
Shootout in my head over right and wrong
Internal conflict over moral choices.
Ain't nobody wanna fight they just fire a gun
Describing a situation where people resort to violence instead of dialogue.
So I stay stoned, and march to my own
Choosing to remain indifferent and follow one's path.
I tried to come see ya but the church been sold, amen
Failed attempt to seek solace in a place of worship.
Sheriffs on the run 'cause they got another one
Law enforcement pursuing another individual.
And I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
Reiteration of weariness and frustration.
Wondering when this fever gon' break
Repeating the desire for relief.
It feels like we're all slow off the draw
Feeling like society is slow to respond to challenges.
'Cause the bad guy keeps getting away
Expressing frustration at the escape of a wrongdoer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, alright
Further affirmation or agreement.
I didn't cry when I buried dad
Lack of emotional expression during a personal loss.
Rodeo clowns ain't paid to be sad
Entertainers not expected to show sadness.
Rich kids kids still got it rough
Wealthy individuals still facing challenges.
Grow up around here boy you better be tough, amen
Growing up in a tough environment requires resilience.
Yeah, I'm trying to understand, won't you talk to me man
Seeking understanding from someone.
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
Reiteration of weariness and frustration.
Wondering when this fever gon' break
Repeating the desire for relief.
It feels like we're all slow off the draw
Feeling like society is slow to respond to challenges.
'Cause the bad guy keeps getting away
Expressing frustration at the escape of a wrongdoer.
Woo, yeah, amen (amen)
Expressing affirmation or agreement.
Lord, I pray they'll come a day
Reiteration of hope for a better future day.
When the stars fall from the sky
Symbolizing a wish for a positive change in the world.
And every wish my baby makes
Desiring that the wishes of a loved one come true.
Comes true a thousand times
Wishing for the fulfillment of those wishes many times over.
'Cause I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
Expressing weariness and frustration.
Wondering when this fever gon' break
Repeating the desire for relief.
It feels like we're all slow off the draw
Feeling like society is slow to respond to challenges.
'Cause the bad guy keeps getting away
Expressing frustration at the escape of a wrongdoer.
Yeah, amen (amen)
Final affirmation or agreement.
