Nonchalant

Woke up this mornin', the world felt wrong Thumbed through the headlines, where did we go wrong? Another outrage, a digital fight Black and white opinions, burning ever so bright Oh, for a button, apathetic and gray For those of us who don't know what to say Beyond the extremes, the love and the hate Just a shrug of the shoulders, sealin' our fate The keyboard warriors, with passion ablaze Defendin' their viewpoints in a digital haze But what of the watchers, the ones in between? Lost in the echo chamber, a silent scene Oh, for a button, apathetic and gray For those of us who don't know what to say Beyond the extremes, the love and the hate Just a shrug of the shoulders, sealin' our fate Is there no room for nuance, no space to be still? Must every opinion climb up a digital hill? I long for the days of quiet dissent Before every thought had to be perfectly sent Oh, for a button, apathetic and gray For those of us who don't know what to say Beyond the extremes, the love and the hate Just a shrug of the shoulders, sealin' our fate Apathy's anthem, a click and a sigh Just leave me alone, as the world rushes by.
