| General Apathy Rachel Hills, 2001 It's a beautiful day outside But I don't want to leave this room It's ten o'clock by the stereo As some pop star sings my favourite tune And all around my mind there spins A list of things I'd love to do I close my eyes and it's alright It's easier just not to move And I've gotta get out of this place And I've gotta move on from this phase Though my beauty's fading My mind's dissipating And I can't move And I've gotta get out of this place And I've gotta move on from this phase Though we're still ourselves we are overwhelmed By the all consuming scent of general apathy It's a beautiful day outside I hear the people off to work I know there's some place I should be But I think it's now too late to leave I know how simple it would be To leave my bed and do something But no matter how I coax myself It's easier to stay put here And I've gotta get out of this place And I've gotta move on from this phase Though my beauty's fading My mind's dissipating And I can't move And I've gotta get out of this place And I've gotta move on from this phase Though we're still ourselves we are overwhelmed By the all consuming scent of general apathy It's a beautiful day outside We sit around and laugh and talk In fifteen minutes we should leave But we don't want to get up and walk And all the people there Tell me I'm not supposed to care But I just don't want to be So ordinary anymore And I've gotta get out of this place And I've gotta move on from this phase Though my beauty's fading My mind's dissipating And I can't move And I've gotta get out of this place And I've gotta move on from this phase Though we're still ourselves we are overwhelmed By the all consuming scent of general apathy It's a beautiful day outside But I'm not gonna leave this room back |
