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)
