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
everybody'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
apathy is so hip
everybody's doing it
in your sterile life
in your sterile life
apathy is so hip
everybody'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 opportunists
& leaders of men
were forced to fight
in the wars they began
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
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
