Apathy

My voice isn’t heard So why would I shout Nothing ever happens Why would I go out Change doesn’t affect me Within my own home Can all of you people Leave me alone They’ve taken your children? That’s not my concern As long as it's your house Who cares if it burns They’re coming for me next? I doubt that that’s true And if it does happen Well, what could I do And now it's my neighbors Being stripped of their rights I never quite liked them So why would I fight? They’ve come for my parents It might seem unfair But they had it coming And I just don’t care They’re in my backyard now But I'm sure it's fine They don’t have a reason To touch what is mine Well now I'm surrounded I'm also quite scared It seems when you warned me I should have prepared
