A pathetic Pill by The Display Team Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You can see right through my cheerful expression
You can see that there is more there
I've had a taste of a pill for depression
The label advises to handle with care
[Chorus]
Its name is ignorance and apathy
(Take it every day, keep sadness at bay!)
We can all be happy
Get rid of your problems and your concern
(You won't know shit so can't care about it!)
We will never learn
[Post-Chorus]
The problems of the human kind
Are weighing down your fragile mind
It's easier to forget than to think and then to fret
Leave anxiety to those with piety yeah!
[Verse 2]
The pill is growing in popularity
Even the media help it succeed
The side-effects include a loss of humanity
And it increases both hunger and greed
[Chorus]
Its name is ignorance and apathy
(Take it every day, keep sadness at bay!)
We can all be happy
Get rid of your problems and your concern
(You won't know shit so can't care about it!)
We will never learn
[Bridge 1]
It is popular amongst the youth
They lose that drive to find the truth
The addicts look down their nose
At intellectuals through glasses of rose
Hey, you! Have heard the news?
Hey, you! Have you seen the news?
Hey, you! Tell me the news!
Ignore the world around you get a blast of the bliss
Tell us some more rev! Tell us some more!
Take some hits of this to shroud yourself in mist
Tell us some more rev! Tell us some more!
Don't let the fuckers poison your mind
With tales of pain and homicide
Don't wallow, just swallow, so you can hide
From this stinking world...
Yeah
No
No
No No No
Yeah
[Bridge 2]
Ignorance
Is creeping up on me!
Na na na na na na na na nananana na na
'Cause I wanna
And he wants to be happy
But I wanna
Oh he wants to be clever
To gain some knowledge
What a pointless endeavour!
I need to ditch you coz I want to be smart
Well we'll just have to split apart!
[Verse 3 - Instrumental]
