The Thermals Lyrics
"We Were Sick"

We were sick
We were sick at the talk
Too 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
We were 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, the legacy

We were sick
We were 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

We were high, we were alive, we were sick
