I'll wait a little longer   It's not a pressing matter yet   So effort makes you stronger   See if I care when I'm second best      Drown out the childish laughter   Leave all the dying in the street   My fears are compromised in defeat      It's the All-American apathy   I can feel I can feel it trying to get to me   We fell asleep to the war on tv   Now it's get now it's get now it's getting to me      Let's drink the rivers dry   With purple majesty   We'll lock up all the sinners   Then we'll be truely free      In the middle of the night it feels so right   To give it all up without a fight   Justice is blind and so are we      It's the All-American apathy   I can feel I can feel it trying to get to me   We fell asleep to the war on tv   Now it's get now it's get now it's getting to me      I don't care what colours you wear   As long as you look like a star   And I won't shout when my say doesn't count   That's what majorities are for   And I won't mind when I'm doing time   For being exactly who I am   And damned if I cry when we stop wondering why   All the people are the same   It's like we don't even have a name      It's the All-American apathy   I can feel I can feel it trying to get to me   We fell asleep to the war on tv   Now it's get now it's get now it's getting to me
