“Sick of You” is the first single from Cake’s sixth studio album Showroom of Compassion. Lead singer John McCrea described the song by saying that “when you’re really angry at everybody else the circle starts really big and then its eventually you and that’s where hate and criticism eventually ends...
I'm so sick of you
So sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I'm so sick of you
So sick of me
I don't want to be with you
I want to fly away
I want to fly away
I'm so sick of work
So sick of play
I don't need another day
I'm so sick of work
So sick of play
I don't need another day
I need to fly away
I need to fly away
Every shiny toy
That at first brings you joy
Will always start to cry and annoy
Every camera every phone
All the music that you own
Won't change the fact you're all alone (All alone!)
Every piece of land
Every city that you plan
Will crumble into tiny grains of sand
Every thing you find that at first gives you shine
Always turns into the same old crime (Same old crime!)
I want to fly away
I want to fly away
I need to fly away
I need to fly away
(I'm so sick of you
So sick of me
I don't want to be with you)
(I'm so sick of you
So sick of me
I don't want to be with you)
Every little dance
Every internet romance
All alone (All alone!)
