lyrics

I Don't Care

Written by - Dooley / Paul / Skeel
Vocals - Jim, Kevin and Jon

If I gotta wake up, I'll do it for myself

Now you're living on the street, with nothing left to eat, no shoes upon your feet

If I gotta wake up, I'll do it for myself (no matter how hungry I get)

I don't care, you don't care, who cares?

Now you have no way to know your future is a mystery
Now you have no way to know your life is only what you see
Now your friends have all packed up and left the planet screaming
You think that you're responsible you know you really shouldn't be

The world spins all around me
The world spins all around me, no matter what I do

Now you have no way to know your future is a mystery

The world spins all around me

Now you have no way to know your life is only what you see

If I gotta wake up, I'll do it for myself

When I have to wake up, I don't rise to nobody's rules

So you say that I don't care my futures anywhere there's nothing really there

If I think about it too much (you know), I just get scared

So if I gotta wake up, I'll do it for myself , no matter how hungry I get

I don't care, you don't care, who cares?

There's nothing really there, there's nothing really there
