I reach out my hand, I reach out my hand
Smile, it may take a while
With the skin from my hide, wipe away the tears
With their empty goals, it's starting
But it's better than being nailed to the floor
That bad medicine, bad medicine
For that bad medicine, don't you give into

When your back's against the wall
Don't you give into that bad medicine
It's funny how people stare
Oh, it's funny how people stare
I reach out my hand, I reach out my hand
For that bad medicine

Try smiling or smile or smile, bad medicine get hold of
And it's raining and the porno burns my eyes
And it's raining and the porno burns my eyes
Don't reach out for that bad medicine

I've heard about this new world you're building
The crowds are full of heroes, propping up the mark
Don't reach out for that bad medicine
Mm, bad medicine, mm, bad medicine
Don't you give into, don't you give into

When your back's against the wall

Ooh, feel your skin burn, feel your soul turn
But will there be room for me? It's starting

Reach out for that bad medicine
Wipe away the tear with the skin from my hide
Wipe away the tear with the skin from my hide

Keep on smiling
Don't you give into that bad medicine, that bad medicine
When your back's against the wall
When your back's against the wall
It's funny how people stare
It's funny how people stare
When your back's against the wall
With the skin from my hide
Spit in their face if they stare while you're down

It's funny how people stare

Bad medicine get hold of you, wipe away the tears
