Lyrics! That Aren't Mine!

“I Want To Be…”

I want to be sedated. Twenty- twenty- twenty-four hours to go I want to be sedated. Nothing to do nowhere to go I want to be sedated. Just get me to the airport and put me in a plane. Hurry, hurry, hurry before I go insane, I can’t feel control my fingers, I can’t control my brain oh no oh ho. Twenty- twenty- twenty-four hours to go I want to be sedated. Nothing to do nowhere to go I want to 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 wrote the lyrics of a song by The Ramones as close as I could. The name of the song is “I Wanna Be Sedated” but I could be a little off. I had to summarize the lyrics as best as I could though I still think it’s a pretty good song.

>> When I first saw this prompt, a thought came to the back of my head that said “Crap, I’m going to have to write about what I want to be and go into detail.” I didn’t feel like doing that, so I wrote the first thing that came to my head, “I want to be sedated.” For a while I thought “Minority” by Green Day would also work, but I didn’t know the lyrics well enough and it’s not very school appropriate (even though my teacher never really checks what we write). I hope this isn’t some kind of copyright infringement (whatever it’s called), it is not my own!! The words before the last three sentences were all written and sung by The Ramones!
