United States of Apathy

Politicians are lying, Poor people are dying, But our stocks keep on rising, So we don’t care The Arab Spring withers, As ISIS guerrillas Bomb Iraqi civilians, But we don’t care Fake elections are funded By big money plundered From the countries of others, But we don’t care Education is failing, As jobs are sent sailing, But big banks are prevailing, So we don't care We sell guns to Israelis, Who kill Palestine babies, To keep settlement "safety," But we don't care Global warming is growing, Yet oil fields are showing No real signs of slowing, But we don’t care Politicians are lying, Our democracy’s dying, But there’s no use in trying, When we simply don’t care.
