EmGEmG
I'm standing on the edge of Vesuvius, my mouth is running dry
EmGEmG
Drunk on wine and wisdom, giving it all away
AmAm/GAm/F#G
Old enough to hate tomorrow, young enough not to know where to run
GD/F#EmDCDG
Oh, there ain't no rock and roll no more, just the music of the young
[Chorus]
EmGEmG
And it's, apathy for the devil. Apathy for the devil
EmGCDG
Apathy for the devil, and apathy for some
[Verse 2]
EmGEmG
The moon shines brightly on some summer lawn, and envy caught like a leaf
EmGEmG
Comes floating down upon this frozen desert sand, spitting bullets through the night
AmAm/GAm/F#G
The siren wails on the ambulance, compassion touches my head and it bleeds
GD/F#EmDCDG
Oh, there ain't no rock and roll no more, just the sickly sound of greed
[Chorus]
EmGEmG
And it's, apathy for the devil. Apathy for the devil
EmGCDG
Apathy for the devil, and apathy for the creed
[Bridge]
AmCGD/F#EmCG/B
No more gardens for the gardenless. No more havens for the havenless
AmCGD/F#EmCG
No more helpers for the helplessness. No more somethings for a less
CGCG
For the law is now the lawless, and the flaw is now the flawless
CGCG
And the crime is now accepted, and the criminal respected
CGCG
And now evil gets elected, and now sinful get selected
CGCG
See a president proven rotten, now officially forgotten

Was it your General Sheridan who once said "The only good, good man is a dead good man." It was not me babe
N.C. Em G Em G
I just said keep your head `n your bread well down under them floorboards, keyboards
[Instrumental]
Em G x4
[Verse 3]
EmGEmG
And you, you look like you've gone with the wind, running naked through the streets
EmGEmG
Wired out, tired out, transcendental mental, only laughing in your sleep
AmAm/GAm/F#G
Nostalgia is starting to focus too late, imagination is starting to itch
GD/F#EmDCDG
Oh, there ain't no rock and roll no more, just the music of the rich
[Chorus]
EmGEmG
And then it's, apathy for the devil. Apathy for the devil
EmGCDG
Apathy for the devil. Apathy's at fever pitch
