There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind   Not state of the art, a serious state of the mind   The muggers, the back stabbers, the two faced elite   A menace to society, a social disease      Rape of the mind is a social disorder   The cynics, the apathy one upmanship 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      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 papers 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 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 rats in the cellar, you know who you are   The rats in the cellar, you know who you are   The rats in the cellar, you know who you are   The rats 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
