Apathy - Bumpin Uglies

Left and right will both be wrong

When all our fossil fuels are gone

And problem solving is done with bombs

Society will crumble

When famine rears her ugly head

Cause we chose money over bread

We will be envious of the dead

It may already be too late

In the late 17th century world’s changin

People harness steam for boats and trains

And we invented the factory this time in history will change industry

permanently

And us along with it

More jobs meant working man benefitted

And though we might be a bit ashamed to admit it

That time in history made us blindly committed to

Faster and bigger and cheaper and better

We need it and now with no care how we got there

Started off slow but it picked up momentum

As the snake got bigger it developed venom

Oil became a currency and we pursued it earnestly

Sciences advanced but we raped the earth concurrently

Profit over sense money over people

Yeah we turned into a virus with no equal

Left and right will both be wrong

When all our fossil fuels are gone

And problem solving is done with bombs

Society will crumble

When famine rears her ugly head

Cause we chose money over bread

We will be envious of the dead

It may already be too late

Fast forward and we’re focused on semantics

Politicians wasting all our time with their antics

Pointing fingers over source of causation

Incredibly we’re still having the wrong conversation

Times wasting and I ain’t got an answer

I just can’t believe that we’re denying the cancer

Storms are stronger, droughts go longer

A decade streak of years hotter than the former

People getting staph from swimming in the Chesapeake

Beijing aircode red for about a week

Feels like we’re staring down a gun and

Common sense says that we should turn around and run

But we’re looking down the barrel focused on the brand of bullet

Trigger gets squeezed we might as well have been the one to pull it

Clocks ticking and when the end begins

Apathy will go down as a mortal sin

Left and right will both be wrong

When all our fossil fuels are gone

And problem solving is done with bombs

Society will crumble

When famine rears her ugly head

Cause we chose money over bread

We will be envious of the dead

It may already be too late

(Outro)

Now we must all fear evil men

But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most

And that is the indifference of good men
