Iron Maiden - Virus Lyrics
There's an evil virus that's threatening mankindNot state of the art, a serious state of the mindThe muggers, the backstabbers, the two faced eliteA menace to society, a social diseaseRape of the mind is a social disorderThe cynics, the apathy one-upmanship orderWatching beginnings of social decayGloating or sneering at life's disarrayEating away at your own self esteemPouncing on every word that you might be sayingRape of the mind is a social disorderThe cynics, the apathy one-upmanship orderSuperficially smiling a shake of the handAs soon as the back is turned treachery is plannedRape of the mind is a social disorderThe cynics, the apathy one-upmanship orderWatching beginnings of social decayGloating or sneering... at life's disarrayWhen every good thing's laid to wasteBy all the jealousy and hateBy all the acid wit and rapier liesAnd every time you think you're safeAnd when you go to turn awayYou know they're sharpening all their paper knivesAll in your mindAll in your headTry to relate itAll in your mindAll in your headTry to escape itWithout a conscience they destroyAnd that's a thing that they enjoyThey're a sickness that's in all our mindsThey want to sink the ship and leaveThe way they laugh at you and meYou know it happens all the timeAll in your mindAll in your headTry to relate itAll in your mindAll in your headTry to escape itThe rats in the cellar you know who you are....Or do you?Watching beginnings of social decay
