lyrics
I'm tired, I think m'soul's retired
Help me to be free, from all these lockdowns and crackdowns,
can anyone Help me? Tell me.
I'm tired. My thoughts are all cross-wired.
Focus me, support me
I need you to be around, to help me.
I need to up stakes - And test fate
Open the gate - don't wait
Clean out my head - 'half dead
Crawl out of bed - sober instead
I want to have meaning - not quarantining;
my rights are burning away!
and I'm so tired of it all.
Instrumental
I want to be grounded - not pounded.
So much work -I'll go beserk
It's not that I shirk - tho' boss is a jerk,
it's just groundhog day - in every way,
and I want to have meaning - not demeaning
I need to get a jet And go!
So take a look at our situation;
we need emancipation ;
Take some responsibility
and help me ....please?
I'm tired, Lord knows I'm cross-wired
Help me, resist tyranny, and hypocricy -so we can be free!
We need to up stakes - don't wait
Fight hate - the system isn't working!
It's not just me - it's everybody
less control - that's the goal
get out of this hole - enroll!
and let's go, slow...
Help me to be free, from all these lockdowns and crackdowns,
