Virus Of The Mind

Well I was watching this talk show the other day

And on it there was this guy and he was saying

When you let other people tell you what's right

When you leave your instinct and your own truth behind he said

That's a virus of the mind. that's a virus of the mind

I guess it's kind of like losing your sight; for a

Second you think that they might be right, and it

Feeds the doubts you have inside, and it

Almost starts to feel like a crime

To follow your own rhythm and rhyme

Yeah I'm pretty happy living in my own sweet time I'm pretty happy

And I don't need your virus of the mind

Well I went to this party thing last night

A lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time

And they wanted to know about my life,

But making me feel like it wasn't quite right

Like where's your kids and where's your car?

I said I don't have either but I have a guitar

And I ended up feeling like I was a freak

So I found some wine and something to eat

And I talked to a dog to pass the time

Told myself I'm doing fine,

It's just a virus of the mind

It's just a virus of the mind

Yeah I'm pretty happy living in my own sweet time I'm pretty happy

And I don't need your virus of the mind

It's in the deep of your soul

It's on the tip of your tongue

It's the feeling you get when you feel young

It's in the sound of the beat

It's in the base of your spine

It's in your gut reaction, yeah every time

But they tell you what you should have,

They tell you who you should be

It's in the picturesand ads and in the magazines

I'm kicking it off like a bug in the breeze

'cause is anyone out there inside me?

I said is anyone out there inside me?

I say is anyone?
