Otep - Oh So Surreal lyrics
[Otep - Oh So Surreal lyrics]
I wish i didn't know what i know
I wish i could pretend like they do
If i could i would
Smile & forget
And there's a child out on a battlefield
A pistol in each hand
He trades a kill for a meal
& it's oh, so surreal & it's oh, so surreal
& there's a man standing on top of a hill
Screaming freedom for some
But all others must kneel
& it's oh, so surreal & it's oh, so surreal
Apathy is so hip everyone's doing it
In your sterile life in your sterile life
Apathy is so hip everyone's doing it
In your sterile life in your sterile life
A little girl's lost on the streets of LA
She complains about the sharks
But plays the part of the prey
& it's oh, so surreal & it's oh, so surreal
& children will go to sleep hungry tonight
While our dumpsters overflow
With our careless delights
& it's oh, so surreal & it's oh, so surreal
Apathy is so hip everyone's doing it
In your sterile life in your sterile life
Apathy is so hip everyone's doing it
In your sterile life in your sterile life
I don't care but i lie
Never feel never try
Empty people empty steeple
If all the opportunists & leaders of men
Were forced to fight in the wars they begin
If we could starve the rich & hurt the cruel
If we could take revenge
& leave it all in ruins
What would you do? What would you do?
What would you do if we did it to YOU?
Apathy is so hip
Now, there's silence
Now like the lips of the dead
Now, there's silence turning inside my head
Smile & forget pretend like they do
Smile & forget pretend like they do
Apathy is so hip everybody's doing it
Apathy is so hip everybody's doing it
(& children will go to sleep hungry tonight)
I wish i could pretend like they do
If i could i would
Smile & forget
And there's a child out on a battlefield
A pistol in each hand
He trades a kill for a meal
& it's oh, so surreal & it's oh, so surreal
& there's a man standing on top of a hill
Screaming freedom for some
But all others must kneel
& it's oh, so surreal & it's oh, so surreal
Apathy is so hip everyone's doing it
In your sterile life in your sterile life
Apathy is so hip everyone's doing it
In your sterile life in your sterile life
A little girl's lost on the streets of LA
She complains about the sharks
But plays the part of the prey
& it's oh, so surreal & it's oh, so surreal
& children will go to sleep hungry tonight
While our dumpsters overflow
With our careless delights
& it's oh, so surreal & it's oh, so surreal
Apathy is so hip everyone's doing it
In your sterile life in your sterile life
Apathy is so hip everyone's doing it
In your sterile life in your sterile life
I don't care but i lie
Never feel never try
Empty people empty steeple
If all the opportunists & leaders of men
Were forced to fight in the wars they begin
If we could starve the rich & hurt the cruel
If we could take revenge
& leave it all in ruins
What would you do? What would you do?
What would you do if we did it to YOU?
Apathy is so hip
Now, there's silence
Now like the lips of the dead
Now, there's silence turning inside my head
Smile & forget pretend like they do
Smile & forget pretend like they do
Apathy is so hip everybody's doing it
Apathy is so hip everybody's doing it
(& children will go to sleep hungry tonight)
