AI was up in the morning with the TV blaring
ABrush my teeth, sittin' watchin' the news
AAll the beaches were closed, the ocean was a Red Sea
ABut there was no one there to part in two
DThere was no fresh salad because there's hypos in the cabbage
DStaten Island disappeared at noon
AThey say the midwest is in great distress
AAnd NASA blew up the moon
[Chorus]
GThe ozone layer has no ozone anymore
And you're gonna Dleave me for the guy next door?
AI'm sick of you
AI'm sick of you
[Verse]
AThey arrested the Mayor for an illegal favor
ASold the Empire State to Japan
AAnd Oliver North married William Secord
AAnd gave birth to a little Teheran
DAnd the Ayatollah bought a nuclear warship
DIf he dies he wants to go out in style
AAnd there's nothing to eat that don't carry the stink
AOf some human waste dumped in the Nile
[Chorus]
GWell, one thing is certainly true
No one Dhere knows what to do
AAnd I'm sick of you
AI'm sick of you
[Solo]

[Verse]
AThe radio said there were 400 dead
AIn some small town in Arkansas
ASome whacked out trucker drove into a nuclear reactor
AAnd killed everybody he saw
DNow he's on Morton Downey and he's glowing and shiney
DDoctors say this is a medical advance
AThey say the bad makes the good and there's something to be learned
AIn every human experience
[Chorus]
GWell I know one thing that really is true
This hereD's a zoo and the keeper ain't you
AAnd I'm sick of it
AI'm sick of you
[Verse]
AThey ordained the Trumps and then he got the mumps
AAnd died being treated at Mt. Sinal
AAnd my best friend Bill died from a poison pill
ASome wired doctor prescribed for stress
DMy arms and legs are shrunk the food all has lumps
DThey discovered some animal no one's ever seen
AIt was an inside trader eating a rubber tire
AAfter running over Rudy Giuliani
[Chorus]
GThey say the President's dead but no one can find his head
It's beeDn missing now for weeks
ABut no one noticed it he had seemed so fit
AAnd I'm Sick of it
AI'm sick of you
AI'm so sick of you
"Bye, bye, bye"
