Old Virus Lyrics

The new virus spread through the air

The old one through the air waves

We would avoid going out there

But the old one sneaked into our places

A form of cancer, hard to kill

The treatment could damage

The healthy part of us

But we can not let it spread

Through our screens

Into our brains

Wash the insides

Creating slaves

Like a dream within a dream

You think you've been awaken

But you entered a coma

Sleepwalking, sleepwalking

Used by cult leaders

The virus is insidious

Abused by cult leaders

The followers, delirious

From Salem to Zion

Hysteria and conspiracy theories

Have drew blood

In countless times in history

And they use the same old tropes

Again, again, and they still work

Is there any medicine

Is there a vaccine

How can we silence the lies

Without giving up our freedom

To someone who will decide

What is the truth and what isn't

That's the flipside

The enemy comes from within

Holding double edge swords

We walk a fine line

Between civic speech

And the big lie

Between Newspeak

And the house

Where facts apply
