I could use a shot
You're novacaine
My soul's a fuse
Blows away your name

Then you can be the remedy
And I can be the enemy
And he can go and live as nothing

Then you can be the wanna-be
And I can be the remedy
And he can go to hell for all I care

Say this world is not so shallow
When you can't beg steal or borrow
Save your breath your soul is hollow
And it's all too much to swallow

Take this souvenir
They can't deny you were here
This scar, always there
To medicate your fear

Then you can be the remedy
And I can be the enemy
And he can go and live as nothing

Then you can be the wanna-be
And I can be the remedy
And he can go to hell for all I care

Say this world is not so shallow
When you can't beg steal or borrow
Save your breath, your soul is hollow
And it's all too much to swallow

(The remedy)

Then you can be the remedy
And I can be the enemy
And he can go and live as nothing

Then you can be the wanna-be
And I can be the remedy
And he can go to hell for all I care

Say this world is not so shallow
When you can't beg steal or borrow
Save your breath, your soul is hollow
And it's all too much to swallow
