Oh apathy Don't patronize me I wasn't staring a nothin' for nothin' Oh apathy Don't hypnotize me Once upon a time I thought I really stood for something Something much greater than my love If I just took the time to stop all of my talking Maybe I'd remember what it was, what it was What it was Oh apathy Don't patronize me Wake me up, I dare not sleep another hour I'm waiting for the mission bell My greatest fear is that I'll wait for you forever And still I'll never hear the sound, hear the sound I can't let that happen now Oh apathy Don't patronize me This starry night is nothing like what I expected Can't let it get under my skin This is not the dream I long ago imagined Then again nothing ever is, ever is Ever is
