We Were Sick

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)
