Sick of You is the third track in heavy metal band GWAR's second album, Scumdogs of the Universe and is one of the most well known songs by the band.

[edit] Overview

Sick of You is, lyrically, a simple song, dealing with feelings of utter distaste for a despised one in a somewhat comical fashion:
Your face is gross
You eat white toast
You don't know what to do
It's just your luck
You really suck
That's all I'm sick of you

Despite the constant repetition of the word "sick" and the somewhat simple song structure, the song is a fan favorite, perhaps due to its more radio-friendly lyrics and sound than the rest of the album. Dave Brockie has stated it to be his favorite GWAR song (usually because it means the concert is over) as well as the song played the most often in the band's live shows, it was also the first GWAR song to be given its own music video.

Another notable part of the song is the interlude of clean singing that starts around 1:25, clean singing is generally a rare thing for the band, making this song notable for being one of the few in which it is used extensively.
