Virus Songtext
von Blaze Bayley

There′s an evil virus threatening mankind
Not state of the art, a serious state of the mind
Muggers, backstabbers, two-faced elite
A menace to society, a social disease

Rip off the mind is a social disorder
See it's the eye but they wanna put some 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

Rip off the mind is a social disorder
See it's the eye but they wanna put some order
Superficiality smiling, a shake of the hand
As soon as the back is turned, treachery is planned


When every good thing's laid to waste
By all the jealousy and hate
By all the acid words and rapier lies
And every time you think you′re safe
And when you go to turn away
You know there′s something wrong with 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 lives
They wanna sink our ship and leave

The way they laugh at you and me
You know it′s nothing of a joke

All in your mind, all in your head
Try to relate it
All in your mind, all in your head
Try to escape it

Rats in the cellar, you know who you are
Rats in the cellar, you know who you are
Rats in the cellar, you know who you are
Rats in the cellar, you know who you are


Adore you
Adore you
Adore you
Adore you
Watching beginnings of social decay
