Done!

Today I heard a song on the radio that reminded me of a friend who has endured eight rounds of chemotherapy, a double mastectomy and 36 radiation treatments for breast cancer. She is currently in remission and is scheduled for reconstructive surgery soon. I can imagine her singing this song about cancer—it is finally done! Click here to see the music video.

Done

Sung by The Band Perry

You've been wearing that crown and tearing me down

It's been a while since you've treated me right

You strung me along for far too long cause I never gave up the fight

Until now

It's gonna hit you hard 'til you see stars

It’s gonna put you through a world of hurt

Oh, I don't believe in getting even but giving what you deserve

Oh my, oh my, huh.

Mama always told me that I should play nice

She didn't know you when she gave me that advice

I'm through with you

You're one bridge I'd like to burn

Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn

I'm through with you, la dee da

I don't wanna be your "just for fun",

Don't wanna be under your thumb

All I wanna be is done

Done

You crossed the line too many times,

I'm gonna put you in your place

You play with dynamite, don't be surprised

When I blow up in your face

Oh my, oh my, huh.

Mama always told me that I should play nice

But she didn't know you when she gave me that advice

I'm through with you

You're one bridge I'd like to burn

Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn

I'm through with you, la dee da

I don't wanna be part of your fun,

Don't wanna be under your thumb

All I wanna be is done

(Done) with your selfish ways

(Done) and all the games you play

I'm through with you and everything you say

Mama told me that I should play nice

She didn't know you when she gave me that advice

Mama always told me that I should play nice

But she didn't know you when she gave me that advice

I'm through with you

You're one bridge I'd like to burn

Scatter the ashes, smash the urn

I'm through with you, la dee da

I don't wanna be your "just for fun",

Don't wanna be under your thumb

All I wanna be is done

All I wanna be is done

Ugh!

Hey, hey, hey , hey ooh,

I wanna be done (so done)

So done (so done)

So done
