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........
