Oh, sorrow's not a feeling - it's become a way of life,
I sometimes wonder: are we just victims of a world that's come undone'
I've heard the story, met the players at least a million times,
Come on, brothers, come on, sisters; you see it every day.

Mama never heard your cries for help,
Everybody needs somebody to tell,
Daddy gave you nightmares you never woke from,
Hiding under covers, you could never run.

Apathy,
You've got your problems,
Apathy,
I've got mine too,
Apathy,
Let's blame the world's demise on God's design,
Apathy.

Can you hear it' - it's a cry so often misunderstood,
The streets are living; I hear them calling - they're made of flesh and blood,
Names - forgotten, eyes - so hollow; like orphans on the run,
It's a crime you can't hide from; it stares you in the face.

Mama never heard your cries for help,
Everybody needs somebody to tell,
Daddy gave you nightmares you never woke from,
Hiding under covers, you could never run, never run.

Apathy,
You've got your problems,
Apathy,
I've got mine too,
Apathy,
Let's blame the world's demise on God's design,
Apathy,
You've got your problems,
Apathy,
I've got mine too,
Apathy,
The Lord's made the problem so plain to see,
The world is dying from apathy.

Mama never heard your cries for help,

The Lord's made the problem so plain to see,
This world is dying from apathy, apathy, apathy.
