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 |
|
Rape of the mind is a social disorder |
|
The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship 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 one-upmanship order |
|
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... |
