face the fact this was our own crime

now it takes up all the air time

stomping us into submission

stomped out on our own volition

we spread toxins on the top lair

but our children lay their heads there we are

why our mother earth recoils

and reclaims us to our angry soil

we took and took more than our share

and wondered why we're here

blame someone else and not yourself

but we're the ones to fear

wake up finally wake up

why do we take the pain and tears

we just kept on growing without really knowing

that's us inside us now

we are the virus now

we are the virus now

prideful grinders killing millions

no regard for the civilians

earth has found her penicillin

exterminating saints and villains

now we're all the huddled masses

doesn't matter what our class is

holding water off the shelves

thinking only of ourselves

we took and took more than our share

and wondered why we're here

blame someone else and not yourself

we are the ones to fear

wake up finally wake up

why did it take the pain and tears

take the pain just kept on going without really knowing

that's just inside us now

we are the virus now

inside we're doing okay though

fight crime got me tripping on the halo

maniac sells lies from the podium

snake oil promises feed the pandemonium

and all we have left is our own device

we live and die

by the roll of his dice

it seems we have an eel for a leader

propheteering of the dead like a two bit bottom feeder

the whole world in a shut down

every city in the world is a ghost town ghost town

think about how the world got like that

how we pillage and destroy every natural habitat

the sickness sorta reminds me of us

we have a habit of killing everything that we touch

agent smith got it right about us

we are the virus we took more than our share

blame someone else and not yourself

we are the ones who care

we took and took what we were sharing

what's us inside us now

we are the virus now

we are the virus

we are the virus now
