Sick of You - Live at the Tower Theatre, Upper Darby, PA, 3/17/1989

This song is called "Sick of you"
One, two, ah one, two three, go

I was up in the morning with the TV blarin'
Brush my teeth, sittin' and watchin' the news
All the oceans were closed, the ocean was a Red Sea
And there was no one here to part in two
There was no fresh salad 'cause there's hypos in the cabbage
Staten Island disappeared at noon

And they say the Midwest is in great distress
And NASA blew up the moon
The ozone layer has no ozone anymore
And you're gonna leave me for the guy next door
I'm sick of you

They arrested the mayor for an illegal favor
He sold the empire state to Japan
And Oliver North married William Se cord
And gave birth to a baby, Tehran

Now the Ayatollah bought a nuclear warship
If he dies, he wants to go out in style
And there's nothing to eat that don't carry the stink
Of some human waste dumped in the Nile
Well, I know one thing honey, that's true
This is a zoo, and the keeper ain't you and I'm sick of it
Baby, I'm sick of you

The radio said there were 400 dead
In some small town in Arkansas
Some whacked out trucker drove into a nuclear reactor
And killed everybody he saw

Now he's on Morton Downey and he's glowing and shining
Doctors say this is a medical advance
They say the bad makes the good and there's something to be learned
In every human experience
Well, I know one thing that honey is true

I'm sick of you
Oh, babe, I'm sick of you

Well, they ordained the Trumps and then he got the mumps
And died being treated at Mount Sinai
And my best friend Bill died from a poison pill
Some wired doctor prescribed for stress

My arms and legs are shrunk, my food has lumps
They discovered some animal no one's ever seen
It was an inside trader eating a rubber tire
After running over Rudy Giuliani

They say the president's dead
Nobody can find his head
It's been missing now for weeks
But no one noticed it, they died, seemed so fit

And I'm sick of it
I'm sick of you
I'm sick of you
Bye, bye, baby, bye bye

I'm sick of you
I'm sick of you
Bye, bye baby, bye, bye
