Virus

[Harris/Gers/Murray/Bayley]

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 face elite

A menace to society, a social disease.


Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order


Watching beginnings of social decay

Gloating or seering at life's disarray

Eating away at your own self esteem

Pouncing on every word that you might be saying


Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order


Superficially smiling a shake of the hand

As soon as the back is turned treachery is planned


Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order


Watching beginnings of social decay

Gloating or seering...at life'ss 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 papers 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?

Try to relate it


Watching beginnings of social decay...
