IRON MAIDEN LYRICS
"Virus" (1996 Single)
1. Virus (edit)
2. My Generation (The Who cover)
3. Doctor, Doctor (UFO cover)
1. Virus (edit)
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 one-upmanship order
Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or sneering at life's disarray
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 one-upmanship 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 one-upmanship order
Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or sneering... at life's disarray
When every good thing's laid to waste by all the jealousy 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 a 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
The rats in the cellar, you know who you are
The rats in the cellar, you know who you are
The rats in the cellar, you know who you are
Or do you? Or do you?
Or do you? Or do you?
Watching beginnings of social decay...
2. My Generation (The Who cover)
Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty,
I've just got to find my way
See the ladies flashing
All their legs and lashes,
I've just got to find my way
Well you see me crawling through the bushes
With it open wide -- What you seeing girl?
Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it,
Can't you believe your eyes? -- It's the real thing girl
Got me feeling myself and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around
(1:59-Solo: Dave Murray)
Got me feeling myself and reeling a...
Got me talking but nothing's with me...
Got me feeling myself and reeling around
Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty,
I've just got to find my way
See the ladies flashing
All their legs and lashes,
I've just got to find my way
Well you see me crawling through the bushes
With it open wide -- What you seeing girl?
Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it,
Can't you believe your eyes? -- It's the real thing girl
Got me feeling myself and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around
3. Doctor, Doctor (UFO cover)
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart
(1)Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Doctor doctor, please
Oh I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment
She's turning paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy
(2)Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and I can't take any more
(1)repeat
(2)repeat
