Sick and tired of growing up afraid

We’re workin hard, but we never really get paid

You think I’m weak, naw man, see, I’m Afraid

Afraid of the world lying in the coffin that you made. 


Sick and tired of growing up so worn out

See, we’re just kids, can we get a break and play now?

Or would that make it too hard for you too keep us down?

My apologies for speaking, but I will not bow.


Sick and tired of havin so much responsibility

Do school, and homework, save the world to the best of your ability

Is that too hard for you? I guess that you need more sleep

Sleep, yeah, dream on, I don’t have time, and that’s not happening. 


Sick and tired of the world feeling so broken

A jigsaw puzzle, 8 billion pieces, I hope you’re copin’ 

We shouldn’t have to be made to feel like we were chosen

We should have the time to sit around and just make jokes and


Things shouldn’t be this way.
