lyrics

Thinking about who's gonna die next in a fairly casual way
Saving any signs of emotion til we get to that day
I heard someone was hit by a train
I heard the old mayor has died
Yet I can't help but hinder the helping hand that I hold inside

Apathy is easy
Apathy is love
We're livin' in the 21st Century with no skies above

A man with a hook for his hand gets sneers and teenage laughs
We'll see how those pirates smirk when they're old and their lungs collapse
Layin' with the women you love while the ones you hate devour your mind
Them's the modern qualms that complicate the mechanical human kind

Comiserate
Or call it a day
Beseech the ones you reach
Or tell them 'go away'
Apathy will eat your heart and stay
And apathy's the modern loving way
