Oh, So Surreal Lyrics - Smash The Control Machine - Otep

I wish I didn't know, know what I know 

I wish I could pretend like they do 

If I could I would smile and forget 

And there's a child out on the battlefield 

A pistol in each hand, he trades a kill for a meal 

And it's oh so surreal and it's oh so surreal 

And there's a man standing on top of a hill 

Screaming freedom for some but all others must kneel 

And it's oh so surreal and 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 

A little girl's lost on the streets of L.A. 

She complains about the sharks but plays the part of the prey 

And it's oh so surreal and it's oh so surreal 

And children will go to sleep hungry tonight 

And our dumpsters overflow with our careless delight 

And it's oh so surreal and 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 

Antiseptic ways, I don't care but I lie 

Never feel, never try 

Empty people, empty steeple 

If all the opportunists and leaders of men 

Were forced to fight in the wars they began 

If we could starve the rich and hurt the cruel 

If we could take revenge and 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 like the lips of the dead 

Now there's silence turning inside my head 

Will you forget, pretend like they do? 

Smile and forget, pretend like they do 

Apathy is so hip, everybody's doing it 

Apathy is so hip, everybody's doing it 

And children will go to sleep hungry tonight 

And children will go to sleep hungry tonight 

And children will go to sleep hungry tonight 

And children will go to sleep hungry tonight 

And children will go to sleep hungry tonight 

And children will go to sleep hungry tonight 

And children
