Lyric 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?
