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 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 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?   (Mind, mind)   No, no, no, no, no, no      (Of the mind, of the mind)   It's in your mind   It's in your mind
