I've had enough of this I'm biting through my tongue You keep on saying "wait" Like nothing's ever wrong You really ought to see The pattern in the dust The same old shrug from kings The same old sleep in us We built our walls too high Then called it peace and grace We turned away from fire And left it in the cage Apathetic generation Apathetic generation Same cold shrug, same old station Apathetic generation Since ancient times, we hid Behind a softer name But every age has dressed The same dull wound in shame The market square goes quiet When truth walks through the door Everybody nods and smiles Then leaves it on the floor You said it's just the way That people have been made But I can hear the chain Every time you say "okay" We built our walls too high Then called it peace and grace We turned away from fire And left it in the cage Apathetic generation Apathetic generation Same cold shrug, same old station Apathetic generation Since ancient times, we hid Behind a softer name But every age has dressed The same dull wound in shame No more "it's always been" No more "what can we do" If every age is numb Then I'm not numb with you Apathetic generation Apathetic generation Same cold shrug, same old station Apathetic generation Since ancient times, we hid Behind a softer name But every age has dressed The same dull wound in shame
