I hear the news I read the paper There's no choice It fills your senses I share the hurt I share the heartbreak It comes each day The news is so relentless My heart goes searching for a place to hide I hear the voice of warning down inside Apathy alert I hear the voice inside Shouting to my heart Apathy alert It's time to do what's right It's time for me to do my part Broken dreams and breaking hearts Everyplace you look But who can change it? What can I do All by myself I'm not a king And I'm no prophet I hear a voice of warning down inside Breaking the silence Breaking through the ice Apathy alert I hear the voice inside Shouting to my heart Apathy alert It's time to do what's right It's time for me to do my part Apathy alert Oooh Apathy alert Time time time Time for me to do my part Apathy alert
