We Were Sick

Lyrics

We were sick We were sick at the top So far from where we started Too far along to stop We were sick We were sick at the thought We'd ever lose our grip And end up sick at the bottom Fed on the dirt Laid on the land Never gave a day away Never gave a damn Read all we could Shed all we had Every dirty germ Another lesson that threads into man We were sick! We were sick at birth Stuck around, had our fun Stuck a fork, we were done We were sick We covered the earth Us and all our friends And anyone getting us medicine Fed on the dirt Laid on the land Never gave a day away Never gave a damn Read all we could Shed all we had Every dirty germ Another lesson that threads into man We were sick Sick in the brain Too young to kill Too old to contain Stuck out our tongue catchin' the acid rain We were high We were alive We were sick Never pure Never aware Never a cure Never a care Never a need, never a damn, the legacy We were sick Sick in the brain Too young to kill Too old to contain Stuck out our tongue catchin' the acid rain We were high We were alive We were sick, oh We were high We were alive We were sick (... is sick)
