Lyrics: 
 
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 oneupmanship 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 oneupmanship 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 oneupmanship order 
 
Watching beginnings of social deacy 
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... 
Or do you? 
 
Watching beginnings of social decay...
