"Sandler, like all of us, is just so over it. We're all just so f**king tired. And so, Sandler wrote a very Sandler-esque song about how no one has the energy to do anything at all. In a monotone voice, Sandler sings about how being middle-aged is just one exhausting moment after another, and while sure, the general message is a bit of a downer, Sandler does it in a way that makes us all smile."
"When I get up in the morning, I don't wanna do sh*t cause I'm tired, so tired / When I'm playing with my kids, I ain't having no fun cause I'm tired, so tired / When I'm at a work meeting, I just stare at the screen cause I'm tired, so lost and tired / When I'm on a date night, I only say like six words cause I'm tired, so f**king tired / And when I finally get into bed, I can't fall asleep because I'm hungry"
A monotone comedic song portrays persistent fatigue across daily life. The lyrics describe reluctance to perform morning routines, diminished enjoyment during play with children, disengagement in work meetings, minimal conversation on date nights, and insomnia caused by hunger. The overall tone balances bleakness and humor, turning middle-aged exhaustion into a shared, amusing experience. Listeners reacted positively, praising the candidness and relatability. Comments noted that the song matches private inner monologues, morning routines, and the reality of shift work causing sleepiness and family misunderstanding. The song resonated as an anthem for perimenopausal women and adults feeling chronically tired.
