Give Me the Cure Lyrics
I never thought too hard on dying before
I never sucked on the dying
I never licked the side of dying before
And now I'm feeling the dying
You've got your hands over your ears
You've got your mouth running on
You've got your eyes looking for something
That can never be found, like a reason
Good God, I don't need a reason
I never thought too hard on dying before
I never thought on the dying
I never held the hand of dying before
And now I'm feeling the dying
And you got to
And you got to
And you got to
Give me the shot
Give me the pill
Give me the cure
Now what you've done to my world
I never thought too hard on dying before
I never thought on the dying
I never walked the side of dying before
And now I feel like I'm, and now I feel like I'm
(It breaks, it breaks, it breaks, yeah)
Under your skin, like I'm over your eyes
I'm at the tip of your fingers
(It breaks, it breaks, it breaks, yeah)
Don't need a reason
Give me the shot
Give me the pill
Give me the cure
(It breaks, it breaks, it breaks)
What you've done to my world
(Coming around, coming around
Coming around, coming down)
Give me the shot
Give me the pill
Give me the cure
Now what you've done to my world
Give me the shot
Now come on, give me the pill
Give me the cure
Now what you've done to my world
Give me the shot
I never sucked on the dying
I never licked the side of dying before
And now I'm feeling the dying
You've got your mouth running on
You've got your eyes looking for something
That can never be found, like a reason
Good God, I don't need a reason
I never thought on the dying
I never held the hand of dying before
And now I'm feeling the dying
And you got to
And you got to
Give me the shot
Give me the pill
Give me the cure
Now what you've done to my world
I never thought on the dying
I never walked the side of dying before
And now I feel like I'm, and now I feel like I'm
(It breaks, it breaks, it breaks, yeah)
Under your skin, like I'm over your eyes
I'm at the tip of your fingers
(It breaks, it breaks, it breaks, yeah)
Don't need a reason
Give me the pill
Give me the cure
(It breaks, it breaks, it breaks)
What you've done to my world
(Coming around, coming around
Coming around, coming down)
Give me the pill
Give me the cure
Now what you've done to my world
Give me the shot
Now come on, give me the pill
Give me the cure
Now what you've done to my world
Give me the shot

the song is about AIDS, the song 'Suggestion' is about sexual harassment the guitar world is one with kirk hammet on the cover, has a fugazi song tabbed out as well as songs by Black Flag and DK...if i had it around i'd tell you what month/year
@fuzzyslippers you are right. It speaks to the ignorant attitudes around the AIDS epidemic -- that because it was sexually and blood transmitted, the people getting it the most -- gay, people of color, and also women, did not matter. \r\n\r\nLook up Ryan White, who was a little boy who caught AIDS from a blood transfusion. His story was sad, but out of his suffering came the Ryan White Act

I read in Guitar World that the song is about sexual harassment and HIV/Aids. sounds correct to me
hey, what guitar world month/year was that in? peace out
I dunno, it doesn't seem to jive to me. It seems like the guy, the "narrator",if you will, is depressed and getting down and thinking about death for the first time, and he doesn't want to be down any more, so he wants some happy pills.
clearly this song is about being depressed. hes never been this way, or felt this way or licked death that way. he wants happiness "got your eyes looking for something that will never be found- like a reason [to live?]" the shot/pil thing is probably refering to anti depressants or anything to cure him ...hence the name give me the cure.
Or something with which to kill himself. That would be the ultimate cure. That's certainly a different side of dying.
The song is about the HIV/AIDS virus. It was debuted at an AIDS benifit in D.C. and was introduced as a song about AIDS.
i think this song is about how america seems to have a cure for everything, and the narrator hasn't thought too much about dying, or otherwise being ailed by some disease before, he hasn't felt this way, but in being bombarded by all the advertisements for different pills in combination with the news broadcasting more reasons to worry about dying of cancer or some other disease, it suddenly seems "real" to him... so he just wants to be cured of something he has been convinced he has... this is how i percieve the song.
^yeah thats true theres always some magic pill people want you to take to cure you of some 'disease'. The way that it says 'licked' 'feeling' and 'sucked' dying is really uneasy. Kind of disgusting but really powerful imagery.
