Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You dip your hands into my flesh
And say you won't reveal a scar
I must have faith in this procedure
It's a miracle, it's a wonder
[Verse 2]
A thousand hidden needles
In a thousand covered nerves
Stick pins in my receptacles
Look to your voodoo doll
Your mojo-oh-oh
[Verse 3]
Staying alive at five
For you to cure my ailments
Another soul is saved
With your bogus medications
[Verse 4]
Which color shall we have today?
"Depends on how I feel," you say
Consult your research on the media
See, blue will calm my hysteria
[Verse 5]
Staying alive at five
For you to cure my ailments
Another soul is saved
With your bogus medications
[Verse 6]
Staying alive at five
With your empty containers
Another corpse ornaments your waiting room
A placebo effect reversed
[Verse 7]
A placebo effect
A placebo effect
Will you never, ever regret
The placebo effect?
Can you ever, ever forget
The placebo effect?
[Verse 8]
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh
