I wish I didn't know
|
What I know
|
|
I wish I could pretend
|
Like they do
|
|
If I could
|
I would
|
|
Smile &
|
Forget
|
|
& there's a child
|
Out on the battlefield
|
|
A pistol in each hand
|
He trades a kill for a meal
|
|
& it's oh, so surreal
|
& it's oh, so surreal
|
|
& there's a man
|
Standing on top of a hill
|
|
Screaming freedom for some
|
But all others must kneel
|
|
& it's oh, so surreal
|
& it's oh, so surreal
|
|
Apathy is so hip
|
Everyone's doing it
|
|
In your sterile life
|
In your sterile life
|
|
A little girl's lost
|
On the streets of L.A.
|
|
She complains about the sharks
|
But plays the part of the prey
|
|
& it's oh, so surreal
|
& it's oh, so surreal
|
|
& children
|
Will go to sleep hungry tonight
|
|
While our dumpsters overflow
|
With our careless delights
|
|
& it's oh, so surreal
|
& it's oh, so surreal
|
|
Apathy is so hip
|
Everyone's doing it
|
|
In your sterile life
|
In your sterile life
|
|
Apathy is so hip
|
Everyone's doing it
|
|
In your sterile life
|
In your sterile life
|
|
(Antiseptic ways)
|
|
I don't care
|
But I lie
|
Never feel
|
Never try
|
Empty people
|
Empty steeple
|
|
If all the oppotunists
|
& leaders of men
|
Were forced to fight
|
In the wars they begin
|
|
If we could starve the rich
|
& hurt the cruel
|
|
If we could take revenge
|
& leave it all in ruins
|
|
What would you do ?
|
What would you do ?
|
|
What would you do
|
If we did it to YOU ?
|
|
Apathy is so hip
|
|
Now, there's silence
|
Now like the lips of the dead
|
|
Now, there's silence
|
Turning inside my head
|
|
Smile & forget
|
Pretend like they do
|
Smile & forget
|
Pretend like they do
|
|
Apathy is so
|
Everybody's doing it
|
Apathy is so
|
Everybody's doing it
|
|
(& children
|
Will go to sleep hungry tonight)
