King Apathy III Lyrics

Freaks collecting stained-gla*s rubies
Pillowed gently on a strand
Bearing looks of frenzied blankness
Slowing down their B.B. King

Middle cla*s suburban children
Wearing costumes that reveal
Blindly follow recent pipers
With their mystical appeal, for now

So I'm leavin' for the country, to try and rest my head
'Cause if I hang around this scene too long
You know babe, I'll be dead

All the changes superficial
Apathy, still a king
Liberal reactionaries
Never dealing anything, for now

So I'm leavin' for the country, to try and rest my head
'Cause if I hang around this scene too long
You know babe, I'll be dead
