Otep - Oh So Surreal lyrics

(intro) i wish i didn't know what i know i wish i could pretend like they do if i could i would smile & forget (v.1) and there's a child out on a battlefield a pistol in each hand he trades a k** 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 (v.2) a little girl's lost on the streets of L.A. 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 (bridge) (antiseptic ways) 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)
