Apathetic Mother Lyrics

Playtime is over
The apathetic mother awaits
Go to your room, child
Go to your room, child
Can't you see I don't care

This means war
You know this means war
You know this means war

Recess is over
The apathetic mother awaits
Take off your school clothes
Put on some old clothes
Go outside
Leave me alone
Alone
I'll leave you alone

This means war
You know this means war
You know this means war

No, you don't
No, you don't
No, you don't
No... you... don't

And I can make you happy
I can make you smile
I can make you hold me
I can't do anything
I can't do anything
I can't do anything
I can't, I can't, I can't, can't, can't

This means war
You know, you know
You know this means war
This means war
This means war

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
