King Apathy III
(McGuinn)
Grease collecting stained-glass
rubies
Pillowed gently on a strand
Bearing looks of frenzied blankness
Slowing down their freebie king
Middleclass suburban children
wearing costumes that reveal
Blindly follow recent pipers
with their mystical appeal
go now
So I'm leavin' for the country to
try and rest my head
Cause if I hang around this scene too
long you know babe I'll be dead
Color changes superficial
Apathy still a king
Liberal reactonaries
never feeling anything
go now
