Placebo
Say that you believe in me
And I'll believe it too
Say that this will work out
And it will do
Say that I can fly
And I’ll grow wings of steel
Say that you will surely cure me
And I will heal
Placebo. I feel so
Good when I take your placebo
Placebo. And we know
It works when I’m on placebo
It is cheap and I have checked
Not a single side effect
Placebo. We’ll go
And buy a kilo of placebo
Doctor, say that I’ll be fine
And my fever’s gone
Say that I’m a healthy guy
And I’ll move on
Say that this is medicine
Even though it is gin
You just fake it. I will take it
It is no sin
Placebo. I feel so
Good when I get your placebo
Placebo. And we know
It works when I’m on placebo
Some say it’s unethical
I say it is magical
Placebo. We go
And buy a kilo of placebo
But when you sigh: This isn’t going well
I trust you and I think I’ll end up in hell
I feel ill. I feel depressed. I am wrecked
I suffer from your nocebo effect
And I know, I know, I know…
What I want
Placebo. I feel so
Good when I get your placebo
Placebo. And we know
It works when I’m on placebo
They say it’s only sugar pills
I say it will cure my ills
Placebo. We go
And buy a kilo of placebo
