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 That's a virus of the mind That's a virus of the mind Well, I guess it's kind of like losing your sight For a second you feel that they might be right And it feeds the doubts that you have inside And almost starts to feel like a crime To follow your own rhythm and rhyme I'm pretty happy Living in my, my own sweet time, living in my Yeah, I'm pretty happy And I don't need your virus of the mind 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, 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 the dog to pa*s the time I told myself I'm doing just fine It's just a virus of the mind It's just a virus of the mind I'm pretty happy Living in my, my own sweet time, living in my Yeah, I'm pretty happy And I don't need your virus of the mind Your virus of the mind It's in the deep of your soul It's on the tip of your tongue It's in 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 They tell you what you should have They tell you who you should be It's in the TV and ads and in the magazines I'm kicking it off like a bug in the breeze 'Cause is anyone out there inside me? I say is anyone out there inside me? I say is anyone? I'm pretty happy Living in my, my own sweet time, living in my Yeah, I'm pretty happy And I don't need your virus of the mind I'm pretty happy Living in my, my own sweet time, living in my Yeah, I'm pretty happy And I don't need your virus of the mind Your virus of the mind, no no, no no (Mind, mind) No no, no no, I don't need it (Mind, mind) No no, no no, don't you feel it?
