Who's to say,
we're not drowning in an ocean of apathy
or
can you be bothered even if they are strangling me?

they just dangle a carrot and turn up the heat
and we sit there like lap dogs waiting for a treat.

lockdown, shmucktown, don't give a *** town
because we are doing alright Jack.

some follow the rules and are still ruled offside
and some try to be fair to that shitshower out there
but they don't give a monkey's nuts about the
what-if and the..why should we care anyway,

if it's here to stay
and
to take some of us away
it must be
God's will,
right?
oddly everything
