about

Composed by Joey Ramone. Originally released on the Ramones album Road to Ruin (Sire, 1978).

When my children were babies I would sing Ramones songs to them as lullabies. Here is that exact idea, fully formed with dreamy ukulele and bell kit. What did I learn? Joey Ramone surely had no idea how prescient his 1978 lyrics would be in 2020. "Nothing to do, nowhere to go" is the theme of the whole year.

lyrics

Twenty, twenty, twenty four hours to go, I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do, no where to go, oh, I wanna be sedated

Just get me to the airport, 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, oh, oh, oh

Twenty, twenty, twenty four hours to go, I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do, no where to go, oh, I wanna be sedated

Just put me in a wheelchair, get 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, oh, oh, oh

Twenty, twenty, twenty four hours to go, I wanna be sedated
Nothin' to do, no where to go, oh, I wanna be sedated

Just put me in a wheelchair, 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, oh, oh, oh

Bamp bamp, ba bamp, ba bamp bamp, ba bamp, I wanna be sedated
