We Were Sick

We were sick, we were sick at the talk So far from where we started Too far along to stop We were sick, we were sick at the thought We never 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!
