Sick Y Tired - Petrol Girls Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sick of neglecting my needs because of how you feel about them
I'm tired that you don't get why I am
I'm sick of serving, sick of smiling
Tired of being held up while he gets applauded
I'm tired of competition between women
I'm sick of having the same conversation
Tired of manoeuvring male fragility
Sick that so much still plays out on this binary

[Pre-Chorus]
Fuck me I am sick of guys like you
Tired of defending everything I do
Sick of the sainthood, acting allies
Tired how time is yours but not mine
[Chorus]
I'm sick
Sick and tired
Sick of
Sickened sick and
I'm sick
I'm fucking sick

[Verse ]
I'm tired that we arе on the streets again
Because anothеr woman has been murdered by a man who thought he owned her
I'm sick of the focus on what we do
Not why we're fucking doing it
I'm tired of fighting a justice system stacked against us
Sick of these pantomime villains and the way they spin their shit
Tired of hearing, "He was a nice guy"
Sick of the non-stop cycle of atrocity

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sick of the late nights, shifts with no breaks
I'm tired of the eczema, sick of the back ache
Tired of the headlines, sick of the hot takes
Them pointing the finger to cover their mistakes
I'm tired of the onslaught, the pace of this piss take
Sick of the notion gender writes our fate
TERFs, SWERFs, idiots exhausting the whole wave
When we're trying to fight to make us all safe
[Chorus]
I'm sick
I'm fucking sick
I'm tired
I've been tired for years
I'm sick
I'm fucking sick

[Outro]
I feel it in my guts
I feel it in my guts
I feel it in my guts
I feel it in my guts
I feel it
I feel it
I feel it
I feel it
