From
Live at the Fillmore West February 1969 (1969) by
The Byrds
King Apathy III (McGuinn) - 3:14
Grease collecting stained-glass rubies
Pillowed gently on a strand
Bearing looks of frenzied blankness
Slowing down their freebie king
Middleclass suburban children wearing costumes that reveal
Blindly follow recent pipers with their mystical appeal go now
So Iґm leavin' for the country to try and rest my head
Cause if I hang around this scene too long you know babe Iґll be dead
Color changes superficial
Apathy still a king
Liberal reactonaries never feeling anything go now
