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?
