Apathy

And if you believe that well I've got some land to sell you and the deed to a bridge
That's just outside of Omaha, my name is on this plaque and it's also on this invoice
I'll take checks and cash, for my white noise

And if you see that then you must be wearing bifocals 'cause I'm up in a crow's nest
And I can hardly make out yesterday much less the fly speck that you've just noticed
On this old world map of Australia, a mild case of pneumonia

And if I get stuck on a word, a phrase, a syllable
I've run out of luck and my excuses are deplorable
You can't hold it against me it's only in my nature to behave like a human
When you are so superior

And if you believe that try to remember that death runs in the family
And if you go upstairs fast enough, you might outrun the consequence
The only window open is the one he just jumped out of
The drapes are blowing inward dangerously close to the potted plants
And my hands are stained with association
While this nation mourns the passing of a noble prince
Conspiracy theory will rear its head, the good, the bad, the smug
The cable channel and the website solely devoted
Try to remember, try to decipher
Why we're here
And could you clue me in?
