illness and cure Lyrics

They let me out of the mental hospital

Where they told me I was sick

And I needed a professional

They filled with pills my breakfast bowl

And they brought me to a shrink

Who said I was in control

Where there's a will, well, there's a way

Didn't tell her about the drugs

And the years of slow decay

Didn't tell her about the friends

Who couldn't make it to this day

I wish there was a way

I wish there was a way

They let me out of the mental hospital

Where they told me I was weak

I should rest there for a week

And I didn't say a word

And through the hallways, left to roam

Irresolute and unsure

If I'd rather be back home

Irresolute and unsure

If I am illness and cure

If I'd better be back home
