Lyrics


1. VIRUS

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

[Chorus #1]
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

[Chorus #1]

Superficially smiling a shake of the hand
As soon as the back is turned treachery is planned

[Chorus #1]

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 rapied 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

[Chorus #2]
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

[Chorus #2]

The rats in the cellar you know who you are (x4)

Or do you? (x4)

Watching beginnings of social decay...


2. MY GENERATION

People try to put us down - Talkin' 'bout my generation
Just because we get around - Talkin' 'bout my generation
Things they do look awful cold - Talkin' 'bout my generation
I hope I die before I get old - Talkin' 'bout my generation

My generation, my generation baby

Why don't you just fade away - Talkin' 'bout my generation
Don't try and dig what we all say - Talkin' 'bout my generation
I'm not tryin' to cause a big sensation - Talkin' 'bout my generation
I'm talkin' 'bout my generation - Talkin' 'bout my generation

My generation, my generation baby, my generation baby
Talkin' 'bout my generation, talkin' 'bout my generation
Talkin' 'bout my generation, talkin' 'bout my generation
My generation, my generation baby

Why don't you just fade away - Talkin' 'bout my generation
Don't try and dig what we all say - Talkin' 'bout my generation
I'm not tryin' to cause a big sensation - Talkin' 'bout my generation
I'm talkin' 'bout my generation - Talkin' 'bout my generation

My generation, my generation baby, my generation baby

People try to put us down - Talkin' 'bout my generation
Just because we get around - Talkin' 'bout my generation
Things they do look awful cold - Talkin' 'bout my generation
I hope I die before I get old - Talkin' 'bout my generation

My generation, my generation baby (x3)
My generation

People try to put us down
Just because we get around
Things they do look awful cold
You'll die before you get old

My generation, my generation baby (x2)
My generation

People try to put us down...


3. DOCTOR, DOCTOR

Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I'm goin' fast
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I just can't left
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart

[Chorus]
Livin', lovin', wild on the run
So far away from you
Livin', lovin', wild on the run
So far away from you

Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I just can't left
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment but she's turning paranoid
That is not a situation for a hearted nervous boy

Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I'm goin' fast
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I just can't left
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and just can't take any more

[Chorus]

Wild on the run...


4. SANCTUARY

Out of the winter came a warhorse of steel
I've never killed a woman before but I know how it feels

[Chorus #1]
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law

I met up with a stranger last night, to keep me alive
He spends all his time on gambling and guns to survive

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]
So give me sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight... tonight

[Chorus #1]

I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain
Down in the canyon or out on the plains

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]

Love me tonight...


5. WRATHCHILD

I was born into a scene
Of angriness and greed
Of dominance and persecution

My mother was a queen
My dad I've never seen
I was never meant to be

[Chorus #1]
Now I spend my time looking all around
For a man that's nowhere to be found
Until I find him, I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel round

[Chorus #2]
'Cause I'm a wrathchild
Well, I'm a wrathchild
Yeah, I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you, oh yeah, yeah !

Some say I shouldn't matter
Ain't nothing gonna alter
The course of my destination

But I know I've gotta find
Some serious peace of mind
Or I know I'll just go crazy

[Chorus #1]
[Chorus #2]


6. PROWLER

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

[Chorus]
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

Got me feeling myself, and reeling ar'
Got me talking but nothing's kill 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

[Chorus]

Got me feeling myself, and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around... Yeah !


7. INVASION

The Vikings are coming
You'd better get ready for, we're having a fight
The longboats are coming
It's looking like their in the dead of the night

[Chorus #1]
Muster the men from all the villages
You'd better get ready to fight with your enemies

Beacons are burning
I'm giving the word to get ready to fight
The battle is nearing
You'd better get ready to fight for your lives

[Chorus #1]

[Chorus #2]
The Norsemen are coming, The Norsemen are coming
The warnings are given, The Norsemen are coming
The Norsemen are coming, The Norsemen are coming
The warnings are given, The Norsemen are coming

[Chorus #3]
Raping and pillaging
Robbing and looting the land
Raping and pillaging
Robbing and looting the land
Viking raiders from afar

[Chorus #2]

[Chorus #3]
