Words Are Medicine

For the light sleeper, The street sweeper. The promise breaker, the promise keeper. The astronaut, the Acrobat. The Underdog who's coming back. Maybe you're hooked on phonics or Mary Jane. Coca-Cola or cocaine. We're just a different kind of the same. Yeah. Sticks and stones can break you, But words are medicine. Words are medicine. When I'm black and blue, I'm broken and bruised, I hear your voice again. Words are medicine. For the beautician, The mortician. The blindsided, The night vision. The baptized, the chicken fried, The roll tide, the unforgiven. For the girl who's lost in romance Novels. The guy who sees through whiskey Goggles. We're just a different kind of the Same. Yeah. Sticks and stones can break you, But words are medicine. Words are medicine. When you're black and blue, you're broken and Bruised, just hear my voice again. Words are medicine. I do, I will, I believe in you still. I have a dream, imagine, a shiny city on A hill. I'm sorry, Forgive me, I love you, I love you. Words are medicine. Words are medicine. When you're black and blue, you're broken and Bruised, just hear my voice again. Words are medicine. Words are medicine. When we're black and blue, we're broken and bruised, I hear your song my friend, and words are Medicine. Words are medicine. Words are medicine. Words are medicine.
