Virus
(Bayley, Gers, Harris, Murray)

There’s an evil virus that’s threating mankind
Not state of the art, a serious state
The muggers, the backstubbers, the two faced 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 sneering at life’s disarray
Eating away at your own self esteem
Pounding 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 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 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, yeah
The rat’s in the cellar, you know who you are
The rat’s in the cellar, you know who you are
The rat’s in the cellar, you know who you are
The rat’s in the cellar, you know who you are
Or do you?
Or do you?
Or do you?
Or do you?

Watching beginnings of social decay...
