| | | | | There's a whole lot of people suffering tonight From the disease of conceit     Whole lot of people struggling tonight From the disease of conceit Comes right down the highway Straight down the line Rips into your senses Through your body and your mind  Nothing about it that's sweet The disease of conceit There's a whole lot of hearts breaking tonight From the disease of conceit     Whole lot of hearts shaking tonight From the disease of conceit Steps into your room Eats your soul Over your senses You have no control   Ain't nothing too discreet About the disease of conceit There's a whole lot of people dying tonight From the disease of conceit     Whole lot of people crying tonight From the disease of conceit Comes right out of nowhere And you're down for the count From the outside world The pressure will mount Turn you into a piece of meat The disease of conceit Conceit is a disease   But the doctors got no cure   They've done a lot of research on it But what it is they're still not sure There's a whole lot of people in trouble tonight From the disease of conceit     Whole lot of people seeing double tonight From the disease of conceit Give ya delusions of grandeur And an evil eye   Give you the idea that  You're too good to die   Then they bury you from your head to your feet From the disease of conceit |    |        |    |  | |  |          |   |  | |  | / |

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la souffrance causée par l'arrogance et le manque d'humilité qui affectent de nombreuses personnes. Elle décrit comment cette maladie de l'orgueil peut détruire des cœurs, ronger les âmes et mener à des conséquences désastreuses, tant sur le plan émotionnel que spirituel. À travers des images puissantes, elle souligne la difficulté de se libérer de cette illusion de grandeur dans laquelle beaucoup se complaisent, sans en réaliser les dangers. Le contexte met en lumière un monde où l'ego prend le pas sur l'empathie, provoquant solitude et désespoir. Ces maux sociaux, omniprésents, ne semblent avoir aucune véritable solution, soulignant ainsi l'urgence d'une prise de conscience collective.
