Apathy

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
 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
