[Well, do you have any weapons?]

Yes, I do. I own a high-powered assault rifle,
I own a 12-gauge double barrel shotgun, I own a regular shotgun,
I own a regular hunting rifle, I own a 9mm, a .357, a .45 handgun,
a .38 special, and um, I own an M16 fully automatic ground assault rifle.

[Do you think things are gonna get better before they get worse?]

No way. Things are just gonna get worse and keep on getting worse.
Like I said, America's a third world country as it is and you know what,
We're just basically in a hopeless situation as it stands.

[What do you think this country's gonna look like in the year 2003?]

Y'know, I'll tell you the truth, nothing against you guys,
But I don't wanna answer that question because,
I haven't even got a mind that's that, that inhumane.

[Are you ready for what's coming?]

Ready as I'll ever be.

[Most people aren't.]

There's a little saying, dates back for generations.

[Go on. . .]

Be prepared for anything at any time
from anybody, and don't take no shit,
Always stand your ground.
People wanna come up to me and run
their mouth, guess what, I'll throw
them through the fucking window.
I won't think a f. . ., I won't think a thing of it.

[Would you mind reciting your poem for us?]

Not at all, I don't see why I sh. . ., I don't see why I couldn't.

There's an evil virus that's
threatening mankind.
It's not state of the art,
It's a serious state of the mind.

The muggers, the backstabbers,
The two faced elite,
A menace to society, a social disease.

To brainwash the mind is
a social disorder.
The cynics, the apathy
one-up-manship order.
Watching beginnings of social decay,
Gloating and sneering at life's disarray.

Eating away at your own self
esteem,
Pouncing on every word that
you might be saying.

To attack someone's mind is
a social disorder.
The constitution, the government,
Martial law order.
Superficially smiling a shake
of the hand,
As soon as your back is turned
treason is planned.

When every good thing's laid to
rest by the governments hate,
By the constitution and their lies,
And every time you think you're safe
and when you go to turn away,
You know they're sharpening
all their knives.

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
of 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.

But it only happens in your mind.
The rats in the cellar
you know who you are. . .
or do you?
Watching beginnings of social decay. . .

[Thank you for your time.]

[KASIantamBLKNGdia]

omg !! where the hell did u get the dialogue ??

[KSCIAA]

@KASIantamBLKNGdia Just listened and wrote it down.

[chizknocka]

u guys do know this is not blaze bayley..:/...the song is about deciet and lairs. he's a lair, not to mention deluded, that poem is not his, its iron maiden lyrics. this song creates a feeling of "he's so right" when in reality he's no better than the hypocrites he hates.

my take of the song after understanding this irony, is that we're all the same, the ones in the bottom stabing at the top to get up, and the ones at the top sucking the life out of the bottom to climb higher.

[Enleuk]

@chizknocka Blaze Bailey was in Iron Maiden when Virus was written...

[freeradicals]

What does anyone suppose 'Do you think things are going to get better before they get worse?' is supposed to mean? Do you think he meant to say "worse before they get better?"

[sinbysin666]

Weirdest thing I've ever heard. Why are they reciting Iron Maiden?

[darkmarine123]

Absolutely amazing. Godspeed never fails to entertain me.

[ModerateMartian]

@chizknocka Excellent comment!
