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!
