The Past Six Years

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 and Jon played Reading and Leeds
And I'm still playing The Purple Turtle on 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 we're so tired
So tired

Through these cynical, old, bitter eyes, the future's hard to see
These songs do not mean half as much as they should do to me
Because I 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 we're 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 we're so tired

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 we're so tired
So tired
