Ever since I was a young boy I have always been ill
Never knew just what to do with all this time to kill
Except get high, I wanna feel alright
If there's just one thing I know for sure
It's that I've the sickness and you've got the cure
They took me to the doctor, babe, and gave me all these little pills
You and mary jane is all that's ever made me feel alright
Ah, you get me high
If there's just one thing I know for sure
It's that I've the sickness and you've got the cure
They took me to the preacher, babe, he said he'd save my soul
I do my best, but I confess, I gotta play this rock and roll
It gets me high, wanna feel alright
If there's just one thing I know for sure
It's that I've the sickness and you've got the cure
I got the sickness, babe, and you got the cure
I got sick, I got sick
(crazy, delirious, panting and wailing)
I got the sickness, babe, and you got the cure
If there's just one thing I know for sure
It's that I've the sickness and you've got the cure
