Virus of the Mind

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 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- Yeah, I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your Virus of the mind (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) Your virus of the mind (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) 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 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 And 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 (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) Your virus of the mind (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) 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 a 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 (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) Your virus of the mind (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) No, no (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) No, no, I don't need it (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo) No, no, don't you feel it (doo-doo-doo-doo-doo)
