[English]

Girl

You have no faith in medicine

Oh, girl

You have no faith in medicine

Acetaminophen

You see the medicine

Oh, girl

Is there a way to find a cure for this

Implanted in a pill

Just the name upon the bottle

Which determines if it will

Is the problem you're allergic

To a well familiar name?

Do you have a problem with this one

If the results are the same?

Acetaminophen

You see the medicine

Oh, girl

You have no faith in medicine

Oh, girl

You have no faith in medicine

Acetaminophen

You see the medicine

Oh, girl

Oh, girl

You have no faith in medicine

Acetaminophen

You see the medicine

Oh, girl

Well, strip the bark right off the tree

And just hand it this way

Don't even need a drink of water

To make the headache go away

Give me a sugar pill

And watch me just rattle

Down the street

Acetaminophen

You see the medicine

Oh, girl

You have no faith in medicine

Oh, girl

Oh, girl

Oh, girl

Oh, girl

Oh, girl
