The man takes another bullet
He keeps them all within
He must seek, no matter how it hurts
So don't fool again
Yeah, he thinks the answer's cold and in his hand
He takes in his medicine
The man takes another bullet
Yeah, he's been fooled again
Uncross your arms,
Take and throw 'em to the cure,
Say, "I do believe."
Uncross your arms, now
Take 'em to it,
Say, "I do believe."
Yeah, I do believe... Yeah
Yeah, the lies, gentle, and she follows
Again, she lets him in
She must believe, to fill the hollow
She's been fooled again
Uncross your arms,
Take and throw 'em to the cure,
Say, "I do believe."
Uncross your arms, now
Take 'em to it,
Say, "I do believe."
Oh, yeah, I do believe... Yeah-h'yeah, whoa
Betting on the cure
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Precious cure
Betting on the cure
'Cause it must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Oh, yeah, precious cure
I do believe... (x12 softly)
I do believe! (x5)
Betting on the cure
Yeah, it must get better than this
Need to feel secure
Yeah, it's gotta' get better than thi--is*
Thi--is... Thi--yeah'hah!
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
I do believe... I do believe... I do believe!
* Note: "thi--is" is a shortened form of the literal/phonetic lyrical representation of what is actually being sung: "thi-he'ye'he-is"
(The short form is also preferable, as the 3rd, transitions from "this" to "yeah" half way through.)
