=================================================
[Intro]
People demanding that things need to change
Hurling insults right down at the crisis exchange

Content cross referenced for you and for me
Segmented worm 5G marketing strategy

People under pressure with no viable choice,
Tired from shouting at the top of their voice

Face stuck in a screen – but what does it mean?
Amped up, politicized zombie amphetamine?
======================
[Verse 1]
People walk around with heads full of chemicals
Trying so hard to tamp down the polemical
Look straight ahead, and make no eye contact
And avoid attempts to fall hard into easy traps

[Verse 2]
People mill about, with their minds distracted
Question what in the documents was redacted
Floods of too much manufactured information
Has become a prime time global sensation

[Verse 3]
Who knows who they really are anymore?
Trying out artificial constructs more and more
A personal reinvention-monkey adaptation
They figured out how to sidestep creation

[Verse 4]
Things getting hotter all over the planet
But asking for the reasons runs the mother fucking gamut
Inequality formed a shaky marriage with greed, and
Truth was the stillborn child birthed from that seed

[Chorus]
We’re caught between don’t know and don’t care
And it’s a tricky situation
And it’s quite plain to see
It’s exactly where they want us to be
Consumed with and overwhelmed by apathy

[Verse5]
Everything costs you a whole lot more
So much worse than it ever was before
So what will it be this week – food or heat?
Choice at the point where the ends seldom do meet

[Verse 6}
Being invaded by something you can’t see
Drink more fluids is the advice coming from TV
Hermetically seal if you have to go out
Lest you pay a price for your lingering doubt

[Verse 7]
Things are moving right and there’s nothing left
All the good ideas appear to be completely bereft
We no longer seek responsibility and reason
That went right out of style - clearly out of season

[Verse 8]
Here we go, a hot war in Europe again
16 and up are clearly being re-defined as men
Now it’s said they could consider using a nuke
WW 3 courtesy of an ICBM archduke

[Chorus]
We’re caught between don’t know and don’t care
And it’s a tricky situation
And it’s quite plain to see
This is exactly where they want us to be
Consumed by and engulfed in apathy

We’re caught between don’t know and don’t care
And it’s a tricky situation
And it’s quite plain to see
This is exactly where they want us to be
Consumed by and drowned in apathy

We’re caught between don’t know and don’t care
And it’s a tricky situation
And it’s quite plain to see
This is exactly where they want us to be
Consumed by and deluged in apathy

[Repeat chorus]
