Play this just once, then play part one again a couple times and then there's

another verse. Play part one until the third chorus comes. Then the bass

plays part three by itself one time. Then it's played another six times for

the guitar solo and the end. It's a pretty simple song. Anyone that can play

bass can learn this song pretty quickly.

The Spawn Soundtrack KICKS ASS. Incubus and DJ Greyboy Rock the shit out of this track. I love how brandon sounds so aggressive while singing the chorus. Good Stuff.

This is very different to the Incubus sound, I think it's an early one isn't it from the Spawn soundtrack... I love this song though, just because it shows just how good a vocalist Brandon is.

Isn't it "OWN medicine"? It definitely makes more sense that way...

I think this song is to do with getting a 'taste of your own medicine' when it comes to a relationship or friendship or something maybe? Excellent lyrics no matter what they mean anyways....

2 ppl said they think it's about drugs b/c the line "and the taste of familiar medicine is abound on your breath" but what i think it means is: ok you know the saying "you'll get your medicine" or something like that. Well the saying means you'll get what you did to me. So i think the "familar medicine" is the same old shit that whoever has been spreading around and is eventually gonna get back. That's pretty much a round-about way of saying I agree w/ MarshmallowSilk.

My dad bought the Spawn soundtrack in '97 after a guy recommended it to him. I didn't realize until five years later that Incubus was on it. This song is awesome.

Wow.... I'm really impressed. i'm a huge incubus fan and I had never heard of this song. I downloaded it, and then it came to me why I didn't remember it: Spawn was a terrible movie.

I think this song is about a friend who was into drugs,hence "all medicine,all medicine" and when his friend came back begging for help he was "smacked in the face,smacked in the face again" and he was begging for forgiveness "brother let your knees bleed" this is one of Incubus' greatest songs,and I wasn't a big Spawn fan either

This is a beautiful song. Brandon's voice rocks on this. Its obvious what its about, u get what u give, what goes around comes around, all that. Like Circles.
