[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Uncross your arms and take
Take and throw them to the cure, say
"I do believe"
Uncross your arms now
Take them to it, say
"I do believe", yeah
"I do believe"

[Verse 2]
The lies tempt her and she follows
Again she lets him in
She must believe to fill the hollow
She's been fooled again

[Chorus]
Uncross your arms and take
Take and throw them to the cure, say
"I do believe"
Uncross your arms now
Take them to it, say
"I do believe", oh yeah
"I do believe", yeah-yeah, whoa

[Hook]
Betting on the cure
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure
Precious cure

[Guitar Solo]

[Hook]
Betting on the cure
Because it must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Yeah, everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure, aowah, yeah
Precious cure

[Bridge]
I do believe I do believe I do believe
I do believe I do believe I do believe
I do believe I do believe I do believe
I do believe I do believe I do believe
I do believe I do believe I do believe
I do believe I do believe I do believe

[Hook]
Betting on the cure
It must get better than this
Need to feel secure
It's got to get better than this
It must get better than this
Betting on the cure
Everyone's got to have the sickness
'Cause everyone seems to need the cure

[Outro]
I do believe I do believe I do believe
I do believe I do believe I do believe
I do believe I do believe I do believe
I do believe I do believe I do believe
I do believe I do believe I do believe
I do believe I do believe I do believe

Like Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden before, Metallica has managed to transcend the genre from which it was originated. To their metal fanbase they are considered one of the Big Four bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer; however Metallica is also one of the most commercially successful bands in all of rock music, having sold 110 million records including the 16x platinum Metallica, which stands as both the highest selling metal album of all time and most successful album of the past 25 years.

Metallica was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles after drummer Lars Ulrich placed an advert in the classifieds newspaper The Recycler, which was answered by singer/rhythm guitarist James Hetfield. They were soon joined by lead guitarist Dave Mustaine, who later formed Megadeth after being kicked out of the band because of his substance and alchohol abuse, and bassist Ron McGovney, a childhood friend of Hetfield. These two early members were replaced with Cliff Burton (who relocated the band to San Francisco) and ex-Exodus lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett to form the band’s classic line-up.

The band released three albums, 1983’s Kill ‘Em All, 1984’s Ride The Lightning and 1986’s Master of Puppets before the tragic and untimely death of Cliff Burton on September 27th, 1986.
