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 diseaseRape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship orderWatching 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 sayingRape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship orderSuperficially smiling a shake of the hand
As soon as the back is turned treachery is plannedRape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy one-upmanship orderWatching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or sneering at life's disarrayWhen every good thing's laid to waste
By all the jealousy and hate
By all the acid wit and rapier liesAnd every time you think you're safe
And when you go to turn away
You know they're sharpening all their paper knivesAll in your mind
All in your head
Try to relate itAll in your mind
All in your head
Try to escape itWithout a conscience they destroy
And that's a thing that they enjoy
They're a sickness that's in all our mindsThey want to sink the ship and leave
The way they laugh at you and me
You know it happens all the timeAll in your mind
All in your head
Try to relate itAll in your mind
All in your head
Try to escape itThe rats in the cellar you know who you are
Or do you?Watching beginnings of social decay
