These days my friends aren't who they used to be 
We were all sinners and [bad word] but now they're too mature for me 
Because Mike's on daytime radio John played Reading & Leeds 
And I'm still play the Purple Turtle at New Year's Eve'... 

We are sick and we are tired 
We're all fools and worthless liars 
Young and unemployable 
Lonely, [bad word] and beautiful 
We're so sick and oh so tired, so tired 

Through these cynical old bitter eyes the futures' hard to see 
And these songs still don't mean half as much as they should do to me 
Because I'd made plans of being more than just that band 
Who had that song about friends and not much else... 

We are sick and we are tired 
We're all fools and worthless liars 
Young and unemployable 
Lonely, [bad word] and beautiful 
We're so sick and oh so tired, so tired 

I'm not getting any younger 
My bones aren't getting any stronger 
My breath won't last for that much longer... 

We are sick and we are tired 
We're all fools and worthless liars 
Young and unemployable 
Lonely, [bad word] and beautiful 
We're so sick and oh so tired, so tired
