Apathy is My Weapon of Choice
so the world is coming to an end
but we'd do well to pretend
that things are still ok
the end will come some other day
we'll shop and eat and see the world
while the flags of tyrants blot the sky
they'll leave us quiet ones alone
as long as we don't stare them in the eye
apathy is my weapon of choice
let those idiots bring the noise
apathy is my weapon of choice
let those other fools lose their voice
and when the time does come
we'll pick our kids from school and run
we'll tell them it's ok
the end will leave them all unscathed
we'll shop and eat and see the world
iphones and ipads as our guides
we'll leave the sorry ones behind
just don't look them in the eye
apathy is my weapon of choice
let those idiots bring the noise
apathy is my weapon of choice
let those other fools lose their voice
