The Tired Moan
The tired moan
I’m tired of being tired
I’m tired of all the pain
I’m tired of all the lies and hate
And crying in the rain
I’m tired of acting happy
When deep inside I’m sad
And other people telling me
Be thankful for what you have
I’m tired of the TV telling me
You must try this or that
This will make you beautiful
And this stops you getting fat
I’m tired of all the bad news
Of wars, famine and disease
It seems like half this universe
Has fallen too it’s knees
I guess the other option is
I could be six feet under
And given these two choices
Do you even have to wonder?
