Excuse For Apathy

They’re spewing out their tops, again
The arrogant promoters of beliefs
Opinions on full display
Rhetorical, and meaning nothing
Why do I remain reserved?
What is my excuse for apathy?
Despite all I’ve seen and learned
What is my excuse for apathy?
For one, I always try to see points from either side
But even more so, my gut maintains
That our world won’t remain this way
Did Hector ever stop to think
As he was dragged dying, by his heels
«How could Troy’s good fortune sink?»
From opulence, despair is nothing real
And like all empires past, a change is coming and it’s coming fast
I’m sure enough, and my gut maintains
That our world won’t remain this way
We’re all just common pawns
In a world obsessed with stocks and bonds
I’m not afraid to just fall behind anymore
I’m sick of pompous scenes
And education to the nth degree
I’m not afraid to just fall behind anymore
So stop this frantic ride
Enjoy ourselves while we still have the time
I’m not afraid to just fall behind anymore
