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.
Bred all we could,
Shared all we had
Every dirty germ another lesson and present to man
We were sick, we were sick at birth
Snuck 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.
Bred all we could,
Shared all we had
Every dirty germ another lesson and present to man
We were sick, sick in the brain
Too young to kill, too old to contain
Stuck out our tongue catching 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, a legacy
We were sick, sick in the brain
Too young to kill, too old to contain
Stuck out our tongue catching the acid rain
We were high, we were alive, we were sick
*
Oh, we were high, we were alive, we were sick.
