Lyrics:

Open your mouth.
Swallow.
Good boy.

You got a fever, temperature is rising high
You got the sickness, looking at the evil eye
Diagnosis is obsession, yeah, you got the bug
You coming to me, looking for the miracle drug
I got the white coat, got the stethoscope
I’m feeding you the candy and I’m feeding you the hope
Open up the bottle, shake it in the hand
I’m the best prescription in the entire land

It’s psychosomatic
It’s automatic
You think it’s chemistry, but it’s only in the brain
I’m the pleasure, baby, and I am the pain
Mind over matter.

I’m the Placebo Effect, I’m the sugar pill
I got no medicine, but I give you the thrill
Zero milligrams of love inside the capsule
I’m the problem, baby, and I am the hassle
You curing yourself, yeah, you doing the work
I’m just a pretty nurse with a little smirk
P-P-Placebo
P-P-Placebo
It’s all in your head

Double-blind study, yeah, put you to the test
You the control group, separate from the rest
No active ingredient, I’m hollow inside
But you swallow me down, yeah, open up wide
Dopamine trigger, yeah, serotonin spike
I’m exactly the flavor that you really like
Chemical reaction, strictly theoretical
My beauty is the weapon, yeah, it is medical

Read the label.
"Warning: May cause dizziness, nausea, and heartbreak."
"Side effects include: Loss of money and loss of time."
"Consult your physician if obsession lasts more than four hours."
I’M INERT!

I’m the Placebo Effect, I’m the sugar pill
I got no medicine, but I give you the thrill
Zero milligrams of love inside the capsule
I’m the problem, baby, and I am the hassle
You curing yourself, yeah, you doing the work
I’m just a pretty nurse with a little smirk
P-P-Placebo
P-P-Placebo
It’s all in your head

Take two in the morning.
Don't call me.
I’m not a doctor.
I just play one in your fantasy.
P-P-Placebo.
P-P-Placebo.
P-P-Placebo.
