What is wrong with the world today?
It seems caught in a mire.
Sinking in the quicksand,
And the walls are just getting higher.
Wonder when the rot set in?
It's a sin to waste your life.
On the road to nowhere,
Living on the edge of a knife.
All the people lying around,
Seems they just don't care.
Don't listen till you turn down the sound,
On soap TV and you better not dare.
Apathy!
In social classes,
Apathy!
Brings us to our knees.
Apathy!
Brow beaten masses,
Apathy!
Ha, this used to be my country.
Corroded by Apathy!
Eroded by Apathy!
They say jump, you say how high?
So desensitised.
Stagnate resigned to fate,
Are you dumb or just hypnotised?
They make your mind right up for you,
Blind submission got no views.
Seems to me everything you do,
Leaves you permanently confused.
Least resistance,
Turn a blind eye.
Do nothing at all,
Won't vote or ponder why?
No wonder the world
Has gone to the wall.
Apathy!
In social classes,
Apathy!
Brings us to our knees.
Apathy!
Brow beaten masses,
Apathy!
Ha, this used to be my country.

They say you,
Jump how high?
You are corroded by Apathy!
Stagnated, dominated.
You are eroded by Apathy!
