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
