Apathy By Proxy

I laze on benefits and steal your job - Schrödinger's immigrant
Waiting for a reason to leave is my imprisonment
Premature millionaires
Who monetise your fears
Like Jesus and the dinosaurs for fundamentalists
Like junkies in love who found themselves a better drug
All the digital nomads running out of trees to hug
This type of millennial despair
Needs a weekend away
I know this place called nowhere
The happy pills you take to make you happier
Never make you happy enough to stop taking the pills
Funny that
Like they're made to do that
Mr Tin Foil Hat can you please not come back
Now that we're past it
Bag up your plastic
We'll make a family
A boy or a girl
Or both or neither
As long as we're ticking the boxes of the modern life

Apathy by proxy
No we don't ever talk about the big why
Sit back and relax and watch the world go buy
Apathy by proxy
No we don't ever talk about the big why
Sit back and relax and watch the world go buy

I feel like I'm dreaming I'm about to wake up
That I'm a drink that's built to spill and no one's cleaning it up
Why don't we piggyback opinions 'til the piggy is dead?
And then rename it now it's just a bacon sandwich with legs?
Back then I could hear the smile in your voice
But now it sounds as if you picked the wrong choice
I thought once you let drowning cat out of the bag
It wouldn't want to come back and zip up the bag
Our hearts are drunk on blood and our egos have landed
We've filled our lives with meaning
Now we're all breathing addicts
Entertained, opinionated, all the above
When all we ever really needed was somebody to love
And now, we back slap ourselves to heaven
When you get there
When you get there
When you get there
There'll be no one there

Apathy by proxy
No we don't ever talk about the big why
Sit back and relax and watch the world go buy
Apathy by proxy
No we don't ever talk about the big why
Sit back and relax and watch the world go buy

Apathy by proxy
No we don't ever talk about the big why
Sit back and relax and watch the world go buy
Apathy by proxy
No we don't ever talk about the big why
Sit back and relax and watch the world go buy

I'm onto something but I don't know what I'm onto
I'm onto something but I don't know what I'm onto
I'm onto something but I don't know what I'm onto
I'm onto something but I don't know what I'm onto
I'm onto something but I don't know what I'm onto
I'm onto something but I don't know what I'm onto
I'm onto something but I don't know what I'm onto
I'm onto something but I don't know what I'm onto
