Tired & Thrilled

The Redding Brothers

The story behind the song

With this song, we tried to create a song based on our perceptions of the current Top 40 material. Here’s what we see:

Lyrics

I won't be happy and filled - I won't be happy and filledI won't be tired and thrilled - I won't be tired and thrilled You want me to step back and see - The way you want it to be You want me to just stand aside - And watch it all pass by You think I'm sorry will find - A way to let it slip by You think I'll stand by the side - With my half-clouded eyes I won't be happy and filled - I won't be happy and filledI won't be tired and thrilled - I won't be tired and thrilled You break your pretty little things - Over my knees You break your pretty little heart - In front of my eyes You take your time, rub it in - Until I can't stand your scent You take your pretty little face - Make it the biggest lie I won't be happy and filled - I won't be happy and filledI won't be tired and thrilled - I won't be tired and thrilled So don't step back and think that you can do the things you want Just because you don't believe in having something that I don't You can't believe, you can't believe, you can't believe in me You deceive us both, but you just can't deceive me I'm not forgetful, not a liar, not a fool for you Not a little toy to use for all your petulant moods Not a plaything, or somebody's prisoner You may be the Queen, but I'm the executioner
