I knew I would regret it
If I grew up to be Apathetically Poetic
The cynics, behind the scenes
The black Klansman high-fives the Jew-Nazi
While the gay-bashing homo tells all of his friends,
About all his threesomes with lesbians
The good politician tells us the truth
The clown gives you a low-fat sandwich and
A friendly pat on the tush
The Pope does something about the boys being poked
Israel tells Syria it was all just a joke
Here comes the loud-silent complacent commotion
Here comes the oilman to save the ocean
Let’s move to a democratic Iraq,
Iran, I laughed!
The young girl had a hot flash
Water froze in the Antarctic
Wall Street gave back
Let Obama be black
Will there ever be a white president?
Will they ever set precedence,
Or allow factual evidence?
It’s full serve in Oregon,
You’ve been served on Earth
Drink the Kool-Aid
It’s the cure for Aids
Hold me closer great big dancer
Kevorkian found the cure for cancer
And the disease from which we can’t be saved
Let’s set a precedence of affirmative action and
Steal Neil’s heart of gold right out her chest
Straight between real fake breasts
Go to war for freedom,
Buy smart, it’s cheaper at Wal-Mart
My favourite agency
Where we can throw down our values and
Keep a space for complacency
The world’s best poetics
Apathetic Poetics: goddamn them
