While 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"
Well I guess it`s kinda like loosing your sight
For a second you think that they might be right
And it feeds the doubts that you have inside
It almost starts to feels like a crime
To follow your own rhythm and rhyme
 
I`m pretty happy, living in my
My own sweet time, living in my
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 is your kids?" and "Where is you 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
I talked to the dog to pass 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 the feeling you get, when you feel young
It`s in the sound of a 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 pictures 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
