Iron Maiden Virus Lyrics

Virus Lyrics

(HarrisGersMurrayBayley)

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 oneupmanship order



Watching beginnings of
social decay

Gloating or sneering at life's disarrey

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 sneering...at
life's disarrey



When every good thing's laid to waste

By all
the jealuosy 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 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........
