In Remission by The Menzingers Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've got a winning lotto ticket
From the state of Massachusetts
Tucked in the back of my wallet
I'll cash it when I'm back in Boston
With a blank eye from the cashier
For why it's torn and busted up
[Verse 2]
I remember that moment of silence
I was at a mall in Norwich
Shoppers stared at the ground
The escalators went on smoke breaks
Oh 1918, you've yet to see the worst of humans acting
[Bridge]
Maybe the future's just a little bit weird
Maybe the God you love is all I've got to fear
Life's a terminal illness in remission
So I took the weight of it all out for a drink
And then we drove back, drunk
Through the busy city streets
[Verse 3]
I hate how I always get nervous
Every time I try to speak
In front of a big crowd
A pretty girl, or the police
And I hate the things that I know about you
And all the horrible things that you do
[Verse 4]
I don't want to be late for war today
I want to chew up my dinner and spit in your face
Light fire to your home and tap your cell phone
Oh yeah!
[Bridge]
If everyone needs a crutch
Then I need a wheelchair
I need a reason to reason with you
If everyone needs a crutch
Then I need a wheelchair
I need a reason to reason with you
If everyone needs a crutch
Then I need a wheelchair
I need a reason to reason with you
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
[Outro]
If everyone needs a crutch
Then I need a wheelchair
I need a reason to reason with you
If everyone needs a crutch
Then I need a wheelchair
I need a reason to reason with you
I've got a winning lotto ticket
From the state of Massachusetts
Tucked in the back of my wallet
I'll cash it when I'm back in Boston
With a blank eye from the cashier
For why it's torn and busted up
[Verse 2]
I remember that moment of silence
I was at a mall in Norwich
Shoppers stared at the ground
The escalators went on smoke breaks
Oh 1918, you've yet to see the worst of humans acting
[Bridge]
Maybe the future's just a little bit weird
Maybe the God you love is all I've got to fear
Life's a terminal illness in remission
So I took the weight of it all out for a drink
And then we drove back, drunk
Through the busy city streets
[Verse 3]
I hate how I always get nervous
Every time I try to speak
In front of a big crowd
A pretty girl, or the police
And I hate the things that I know about you
And all the horrible things that you do
[Verse 4]

[Bridge]
If everyone needs a crutch
Then I need a wheelchair
I need a reason to reason with you
If everyone needs a crutch
Then I need a wheelchair
I need a reason to reason with you
If everyone needs a crutch
Then I need a wheelchair
I need a reason to reason with you
Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh, yeah!
[Outro]
If everyone needs a crutch
Then I need a wheelchair
I need a reason to reason with you
If everyone needs a crutch
Then I need a wheelchair
I need a reason to reason with you
