Infectious Lyrics by Anthrax

I am a dark man, full of tricks to get over
I give you the slip so I can drink till I’m sober
I couldn’t resist, it’s not enough to exist
Cut you off at the wrist, my smile, it’s infectious

A nihilistic crew of apocalyptic morons
I take it personally, my world is dead and gone

Hey, true believer, all lit up with the fever
Do I make you sick? I’m an overachiever
Throw back and a half, yet, I’m ahead of my time
You know who I am, now show me the crime

I ain’t no demographic, it’s more of a disposition
I take it personally, this whole head-on collision

Would you believe if I told you my solution?
Would you believe in my public execution?
I’m coming out like Captain Trips came out of Texas
Take a good look at my smile, it’s infectious

It makes me so happy ’cause the things I despise
Made you believe all the noise and lies
Second hand fables and some hand-me-down myths
Were a brilliant conceit of my infectious smile

Did you believe there was a chance for me to start things over?
I take it personally, I know there is no closure

Would you believe if I told you my solution?
Would you believe in my public execution?
I’m coming out like Captain Trips came out of Texas
Take a good look at my smile it’s infectious
I never take it personally
Just like a dunce of the confederacy
I’m coming out like Captain Trips came out of Texas
Take a good look at my smile, it’s infectious

Sorry, I’m not sorry, I’m just sick with irony
Step inside my Rorschach test, and tell me what you see
I never take it personally, dripping in my sincerity
I wanna be the one to let it go

Would you believe if I told you my solution?
Would you believe in my public execution?
I’m coming out like Captain Trips came out of Texas
Take a good look at my smile, it’s infectious
I never take it personally
Just like a dunce of the confederacy
I’m coming out like Captain Trips came out of Texas
Take a good look at my smile, it’s infectious
