Virus
There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind
Not state of the art, a serious state of the mind
The muggers, the backstabbers, the two faced elite
A menace to society, a social disease
Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship order
Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or sneering at life's disarray
Eating away at your own self esteem
Pouncing on every word that you might be saying
Superficially smiling a shake of the hand
As soon as the back is turned treachery is planned
Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or sneering... at life's disarray
When every good thing's laid to waste by all the jealousy and hate
By all the acid wit and rapier lies
And every time you think you're safe, and when you go to turn away
You know they're sharpening all their paper knives
All in your mind, all in your head, try to relate it
All in your mind, all in your head, try to escape it
Without a conscience they destroy, and that's a thing that they enjoy
They're a sickness that's in all our minds
They want to sink the ship and leave, the way they laugh at you and me
You know it happens all the time
All in your mind, all in your head, try to relate it
All in your mind, all in your head, try to escape it
The rats in the cellar, you know who you are
Or do you
Watching beginnings of social decay...
