The Killigans - Apathetic Notions Lyrics
Apathetic notions of the world politic surround meElitist versions of equality implanted in my headCarrot hung before the populaceShining promises of opportunityBut for me, the son of a poor manThe luster fades awayAnd as the truth washes over me, like some unholy religionI look on, in stunned silence, at the mess that we’re now inRealization, it hits me like a brick, and shatters my indifferenceFaith alone won’t help to stem the tide,So though it’s over, my wits stay sober, even as the waves come crashing downScream into the night I’m still aliveSurvival in our beloved country, it thrives on subjugationIn order for one man to succeed, he’ll drag a million downMost of us exploited by the rich,do not realize we’ve put the yoke on our own necksWe are told are lives are worth a certain wageand we don’t question it at all
