Lyrics[]
Well, there's somethin' about watchin' a crime
That makes me wanna go out and make it all mine
There's somethin' about seein' you fight
That makes me wanna go out tonight
I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease to fall into, yeah, it's true
There's something about seein' him die
That puts it all into perspective, and I
Wanna stay home, be left alone
Someone make my mind up so I don't have to decide
I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease, fall into, yeah, I do
There's some reason why I can't sit still
Every waking moment I feel so unfulfilled
I try to lie down, but I don't know how
Baby, when I'm sleepin', it feels less like I am dreamin'
Oh, my God, I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease, it's got me down on my knees
There's a fear I have, a feeling real bad
I'm fine now, if I find out that I'm not, I'll be sad
I try to quiet the thoughts in the night
Oh, they got me thinking I'd be happier just drinking
It's not true, and I got a bad disease
I got a bad disease, it's got me down on my knees
Oh-oh, I got a bad disease
Will no one help me, please? Not even you? Hmm
