Byrds - King Apathy Iii lyrics

(R. Mc Guinn)

Freaks collecting stained­glass rubies

Till a gently on a strand

Bearing looks of frenzied blankness

Slowing down their B.B. King

Middle class suburban children

Wearing costumes that reveal

Blindly follow recent pipers

With their mystical appeal for now

So I'm leavin' for the country

To try and rest my head

'Cause if I hang around this scene too long

You know babe I'll be dead

Instrumental (Electric Guitar)

All the changes superficial

Apathy still a king

Liberal reactionaries

Never doing anything for now

So I'm leavin' for the country

To try and rest my head

'Cause if I hang around this scene too long

You know babe I'll be dead
