Sit right down let me tell you what we serve You might think it quite absurd But we only have just one dish And it might even be what you wish But apathy is our only course I hope that is your choice It's very easy to prepare And everybody can have their share If you don't like it we don't care Empathy use to be our greatest cuisine It really was quite supreme But serving it was such a pain And to admit it we are all just to vain It took to much time And it didn't pay a dime We had to layer in the flavors Of truly caring, love, patience, and of course life savers Who has time for all of that, not us We don't need all the fuss For we only care about our own To care about strangers we're not prone Your tears we care nothing about So just sit over there and pout For we only serve one thing here.......apathy We are to self-absorbed for.......empathy

Sit right down let me tell you what we serve You might think it quite absurd But we only have just one dish And it might even be what you wish But apathy is our only course I hope that is your choice It's very easy to prepare And everybody can have their share If you don't like it we don't care Empathy use to be our greatest cuisine It really was quite supreme But serving it was such a pain And to admit it we are all just to vain It took to much time And it didn't pay a dime We had to layer in the flavors Of truly caring, love, patience, and of course life savers Who has time for all of that, not us We don't need all the fuss For we only care about our own To care about strangers we're not prone Your tears we care nothing about So just sit over there and pout For we only serve one thing here.......apathy We are to self-absorbed for.......empathy
