Lyrics for I Wanna Be Sedated as interpreted by Maxine

I Wanna Be Sedated Lyrics
Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport and put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh no oh ho

Twenty-twenty-twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, nowhere to go
I wanna be sedated
Just put me in a wheelchair
And get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry before I go loco
I can't control my fingers
I can't control my toes
Oh no oh ho

I have had this song stuck in my head for two months now and I'm not complaining. :D

The Ramones' songs are decades old and still sound fresh. Can we officially call them legends?

This song is just about chillin' . Perhaps drugs are involved in the chillin' . But it dosnt matter. " I want to be sedated" it just means he wants to relax and not have to worry about anything. Who dosnt want to be sedated?

powerchordsrock, johnny used a beat up 'mosrite' guitar. Perhaps not all the time, but at least at one time. :D

I will always remember that episode of "My So-Called Life" whenever I hear this song. As for the meaning, I agree with what everyone has said, basically about wanting to be free of worry and just be able to relax. Trying to stop yourself from going insane when you know you're on the verge.

by stating that he wants to be sedated means he wants to sleep. a sedative drug would be something that knocks ou out so you can sleep. the song is about the guys on tour and just wanting to go home and relax, but they can't so they want to be sedated till they get to the next show so that they can at least sleep for a while.

I don't claim to be any kind of expert on the Ramones, but it pisses me off when this is the only song people know by them and they act like they're so clever for knowing it.

This song was written by Joey Ramone (Jeffry Hyman) when he had to go to the hospital because he spilled boiling water on himself and got some burns. (he inhaled steam to clear his sinuses) I read that somewhere, I forget where. I'm like a sponge of useless facts. :)

way to spell liar wrong. :) It was just an opinion, you don't have to be so hostile. (By the way, were you going to explain how you know that it's about capital punishment for a fact or were you just stating it to sound impressive?)

Ummm, okay, re-read both my posts. I said where he wrote it, you loser, not what he wrote it about. :)

Considering it's two posts later and you still don't understand what I'm saying, here's a brief lesson on the difference between meaning and location/time. Meaning is, put simply, what the song's about. You wrote down the meaning. Location/time is the time and place that an event took place. In this situation, the event was the song being written. I named the location and time. Understand now?

I normally wouldn't be so defensive but I don't like being called a 'fucking lier' by some guy who can't even spell liar correctly. Nor do I like being called 'mandy', but at least that wasn't offensive.

Here's yet another brief lesson; try not to swear in front of (or, in your case, directly to) 13-year-olds. Censorship sucks and everything (ironically, there's a Ramones song called 'Censorshit') but still, there's some words kids shouldn't be called.
