Mitch Benn And The Distractions
Текст песни The Apathy Song

In this world today, no one ever seems to care
Whatever's going on, so much indifference out there
All this apathy it leaves me quite appalled
I thought I'd write a song to try and make sense of it all

But I really couldn't be bothered
I put the telly on instead
Got aobut halfway through Neighbours
Gave up and went back to bed
I really couldn't be bothered
To explain what it's about
And I know that it's important
I just can't seem to get my finger out

Whatever can it be that causes all this lethargy
Why can't people take an interest in society
I thought about this problem then I realised by and by
If they can't take an interest then why the bloody hell should I

I really couldn't be bothered
My mind was totally blank
So I made myself a cup of tea
Read the paper, had a walk in the park
I really couldn't be bothered
Though the task was fairly clear
And I really meant to do it
I just can't get my arse into gear

And I really couldn't be bothered
To write any more words
Dum da dum dum dum dee dum dee
Dum da dum dum dum dee doo
And I really couldn't be bothered
To play this final bit -
