Have you heard what they are saying There's this rumour going round 'Bout how the folks in Pontypool All got together in a crowd And they went herding down on Drum Street They were murmuring real loud And they were grabbing on to people Trying to climb into their mouths Don't say it out loud Word is the virus Yeah, apparently this sickness, Well, it's spread when people talk And it messes with their heads And it affects the way they walk It's like their software is corrupted And they're in this fucked up state And their thinking's all retarded And their minds are full of hate Hear the evil Speak the evil Paranoia There's something in the air Messianic Hermeneutic of despair The truth is out there
