These days my friends aren't who they used to be 

We were all sinners and drunks 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, drunk 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, drunk 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, drunk and beautiful 

We're so sick and oh so tired, so tired
