Skillet’s new single “Sick of It” will be available for purchase tomorrow on iTunes, but fans can get a sneak preview of the song today on the ARTISTdirect page (click here).
The band has an entire page dedicated to the debut of “Sick of It” on their website, which shows various interpretations of what “it” is. By leaving the definition of “it” open to interpretation, listeners can fill in the blank and personalize this incredibly powerful, melodic, hard rock anthem.
Virtually everyone has something that they are sick of in today’s increasingly trying and divisive times. Listening to John Cooper’s impassioned delivery of the song is bound to be a cathartic experience for those who take a moment to ponder what the lyrics mean to them personally.
If you are a Skillet fan, you will absolutely love “Sick of It” because it picks up where the band left off with “Awake And Alive” and takes it to another level. Skillet fans will not get sick of is this latest anthem; the only thing that they might get sick of is waiting for the release of the full album, Rise, on June 25th!
“Sick of It” lyrics are listed below the teaser video…
“Sick of It” Lyrics
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it….if you’re sick, if you’re sick)
If you’re sick of it!
When everything you do, don’t seem to matter
You try, but it’s no use, your world is getting blacker
When every time you fail, has no answer
Every empty promise made is a reminder
No one can make this better
Take control there’s now or never
Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands
Get rid of it
While there’s a fighting chance
Are you over it? Bored to death?
Have you had enough with them?
Take a stand, raise your hands
If you’re sick of it!
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it)
If you’re sick of it!
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it)
Every single day I chase my own tail
Like a rat inside a maze
Gotta get gotta get getaway
I’m running out of time
For me to break this
I’m tired of feeling like I’m never gonna make it
No one can make this better
Take control there’s now or never
Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands
Get rid of it
While there’s a fighting chance
Are you over it? Bored to death?
Have you had enough with them?
Take a stand, raise your hands if you’re sick of it!
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it)
If you’re sick of it!
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it)
I’m tired of it
I’m over it
I’m going to bed
Gotta face this
I’m sick of it
(Raise your hands if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it 2x)
Sick of it
Raise your hands
Get rid of it
While there’s a fighting chance
Are you over it? Bored to death?
Have you had enough with them?
Take a stand, raise your hands
Are you sick of it?
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it)
Get rid of it
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it)
Are you over it? Bored to death?
Have you had enough with them?
Take a stand, raise your hands
Are you sick of it?
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it)
Are you sick of it?
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it)
Are you sick of it?
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it)
If you’re sick of it
(If you’re sick, if you’re sick, if you’re sick of it)
