Apathy

She’s spent her life searching for Alaska
But got lost in St. Mark’s Place
And all the trains no longer foretell disaster
She’s convinced that she’ll lose this race, well
Change her mind, I don’t know how
But she ain’t gonna leave now
Social norms, you’re who I will blame
‘Cause you want us all the same
At this point I don’t care
I just want out
I don’t know what to do
Society’s dropping us like flies
Handcuffs on our wrists
Lining us up to die
Well it’s time for us to fight
Time to take our futures back
Media man you’re done
It’s over now
Too many wars fought for stupid reasons
Too many dead ‘cause there’s no one there
Ask someone to stand up and do something
They’re too busy doing their hair
Elders say that we’ve got to change
But remember who fucked up in the first place?
It’s not like we don’t care
And it’s not like we’re not scared
It’s just that all of your mistakes are not our fault
I don’t know what to do
Society’s dropping us like flies
Handcuffs on our wrists
Lining us up to die
Well it’s time for us to fight
Time to take our futures back
Media man you’re done
It’s over now
Do you wanna grow up?
Or do you wanna grow old?
Work for years in a dead-end job
Until you’re stiff and cold
Dear future, corporate government
What have you done for me?
Amid all this hypocrisy
I think I’ll go with apathy
I don’t know what to do
Society’s dropping us like flies
Handcuffs on our wrists
Lining us up to die
Well it’s time for us to fight
Time to take our futures back
Media man you’re done
It’s over now
