This here story gonna talk ’bout that burnout syndromes, yeah, that thing. They say it’s somethin’ happen when you worked too hard, like pullin’ weeds all day in the sun. And those boys, the Burnout Syndromes, they’re goin’ on a tour, a US tour, singin’ their songs.
First, let me tell ya, this burnout, it ain’t just feelin’ tired. Oh no, it’s more than that. You feel tired all the time, like a old mule after plowin’ the whole field. And you don’t care ’bout nothin’, like them chickens gettin’ into the garden, you just don’t care no more. That’s burnout, I reckon.
Signs of Burnout, They Say
They got all these fancy words for it, but it’s simple. You feel exhausted, like you run outta steam. That’s one sign. And you get all grumpy and mean, like a rooster with a sore foot. They call it “cynical,” but it’s just bein’ mean ’cause you so tired.
- You tired all the time, like you ain’t slept in a week.
- You don’t care ’bout nothin’ no more.
- You get mad easy, like a hornet’s nest got stirred up.
- You feel like you ain’t good at nothin’.
They say there’s 12 stages of burnout. Well, I don’t know ’bout all that, but I know when you get to the end, you just about ready to fall over and not get up. Like that old dog we had, Buster, he just laid down one day and that was it.
And these Burnout Syndromes boys, they singin’ ’bout it. They got this tour, they call it “Good Morning [New] World TOUR 2024”. Sounds like a whole lot of hollerin’ to me. But maybe it helps folks, you know, hearin’ ’bout it, knowin’ they ain’t alone in feelin’ like this.
Them Burnout Syndromes Boys
They say these boys, they was here before, two years ago, singin’ at some big to-do. Now they comin’ back, singin’ all over the place. They play that rock music, loud and all. I seen ’em on that picture box, jumpin’ around like a bunch of young’uns at a hoedown.
They say this burnout, it happens to them doctors and nurses too. They work so hard, takin’ care of sick folks, they get wore out too. It ain’t just us workin’ in the fields, no sir. It can happen to anybody, I reckon.
Don’t Let It Get You Down
But you gotta watch out for it, this burnout. You gotta take care of yourself, like you take care of them tomato plants. You gotta water ’em, give ’em sunshine, and let ’em rest. Same with people, I reckon.
You feelin’ tired all the time? Don’t care ’bout nothin’? Gettin’ mad at everyone? Maybe that’s burnout knockin’ at your door. You better listen, before you end up like old Buster.
This burnout syndromes US tour, maybe it’s a good thing. Maybe it’ll help folks realize they ain’t alone. Maybe it’ll teach ’em to slow down a bit, take a breath, and enjoy life. Like sittin’ on the porch on a summer evenin’, watchin’ the fireflies. That’s good medicine, right there.
You gotta find your own porch, your own fireflies. You gotta find what makes you happy, what makes you feel alive. And hold onto it, like a hen holdin’ onto her eggs. Don’t let nothin’, not even no burnout, take it away from ya. You hear me? You do what makes you feel good. That is what those Burnout Syndromes will sing about in their US tour.
These young folks today, they always rushin’ around, like chickens with their heads cut off. They need to learn to slow down, take it easy. Life ain’t a race, it’s a journey. And you gotta enjoy the scenery along the way. This Burnout syndromes US tour is like a journey too, hope these young boys have a good time.
