Cure

Metallica · Load

(spoken)
The man takes another bullet
He keeps them all within
He must seek no matter how it hurts
So don't fool again

He thinks the answer is cold and in his hand
He takes his medicine
The man takes another bullet
He's been fooled again

Uncross your arms
Take and throw 'em to the cure, say...
I do believe

Uncross your arms now
Take 'em too,and say...
I do believe
Yeah, i do believe

The lies tempt her she follows
Again she lets him in
She must believe to fill the hollow
She's been fooled again

Uncross your arms
Take and throw them to the cure, say...
I do believe

Uncross your arms now
Take 'em too,and say...
I do believe

Oh yeah, i do believe

Betting on the cure
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah everyone's gotta have the sickness
Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Precious cure

Betting on the cure
Cause it must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah everyone's gotta have the sickness
Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Precious cure

I do believe

Betting on the cure
It must get better than this
Need to feel secure
Yeah it's got to get better than this, this, this
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Everyone's gotta to have the sickness
Cause everyone seems to need the cure

I do believe

Cure - Metallica

Released on the 1996 album Load, "Cure" stands as a pivotal track in Metallica's discography, marking a significant departure from the thrash metal that defined their earlier career. The song features a slower, atmospheric tempo and a prominent use of the electric guitar synthesizer, a sonic choice that would later become a signature element of the band's work on St. Anger. Lyrically, the track explores themes of personal struggle and the desire for an escape from reality, resonating deeply with fans who witnessed the band's evolution during the mid-to-late 1990s. As a staple of their live performances, "Cure" remains a powerful example of Metallica's ability to blend heavy instrumentation with introspective songwriting, solidifying their status as a major force in heavy metal history.
