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
