I The Mighty – Modern Medicine lyrics

[Verse 1]
An IV itch, the tattoo swimming up her arm
The nurse's stitch. The doctor's rich
The 5 alarm, the 5 alarm
The liquor for body warmth

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And this is what we came here for
Another drug we can't ignore
Slightly stoned with morphine injections and vicodin drops
Causing hearts attacks, heart attacks
No, they're not for fun

[Chorus]
We speak in words that cloud thought
We keep our backs against the wall
We speak in words that cloud
Thought through Tylenol

[Verse 2]
Halogen lights, the Light to match the tile floors
The pills that slide as water pours
The hired whores at corner stores
The hiding of cancer cures

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And this is what we came here for
Another drug we can't afford
Load the infections with lethal injections
To silence the crowd and they're ignorant mouths

[Bridge]
And promise just that
The lives of a cat
Nine for everyone

[Chorus]
We speak in words that cloud thought
We keep our backs against the wall
We speak in words that cloud
Thought through Tylenol

[Breakdown]
She wants to get out
But she's out of her mind
And she didn't notice
No, she never noticed
These duel swinging doors
They keep her inside
These meds keep her happy
They say they keep her alive
But she wasn't insane, she wasn't insane
'Till the medicine came
She wasn't insane, she wasn't insane
Well, so much for air

[Chorus]
We speak in words that cloud thought (So much for air)
We keep our backs against the wall (So much for air)
We speak in words that cloud (So much for air)
Thought through Tylenol

[Chorus]
(We ain't scared of death)
We speak in words that cloud thought
(We ain't scared of death we greet the end)
We keep our backs against the wall
(We ain't scared of death)
We speak in words that cloud
(We ain't scared of death we greet the end)
Thought through Tylenol

[Outro]
We ain't scared of death
We ain't scared of death we greet the end
