Treatment Bound Lyrics

We're gettin' no place fast as we can
Get a noseful from our so-called friends

We're gettin' nowhere quick as we know how
We whirl from town to town treatment bound

First thing we do when we finally pull up
Get shitface drunk try to sober up

There'll be no pose tonight no money in sight
Label wants a hit and we don't give a shit

Cuz where gettin' no place as fast as we can
We get a noseful from our so-called friends

We're gettin' nowhere quick as we know how
We whirl from town to town Duluth to Madison
Treatment bound

Gettin' nowhere

(keep goin')

Second thing we do is walk around
Goto the job or try to hold one down

There's no mass appeal carton's asleep at the wheel
Yesterday's trash too bored to thrash

We're gettin' nowhere fast as we can
We got a noseful of them so-called friends

We're gettin no place as quick as we know how
We're gettin' nowhere what will we do now?

Take it, Scotty

Tommy: one of the chords at that one part you just fucked it up
Paul: fucked 'im up

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I can't believe no one has commented on this song yet. It's so sincere. I just love Paul's vocal delivery, especially on this song. Everything about it just smacks of hopeless optimism. This song so perfectly captures the essence and spirit of the 'Mats.

I love the delivery of this song too. It's so raw, shambolic and probably drunken.
