Apathy Song.
(lyrics)
Don’t matter if I sleep all day.
Don’t matter if I have much to say.
Don’t matter if the sky falls.
Don’t matter for the love of it all.
They don’t know,
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t…
Don’t matter if the sun don’t shine.
Don’t matter if I’m mean or kind.
Don’t matter if I know what to do.
Don’t matter between me and you.
They don’t know,
I don’t , I don’t , I don’t…
Don’t matter if you care or not.
Don’t matter if you talk a lot.
Don’t matter if you are blue.
Don’t matter between me and you.
They don’t know,
I don’t, I don’t, I don’t…..
Don’t matter if it leaves a bad taste.
Don’t matter to leave in haste.
Don’t matter not to matter at all.
THIS IS AN APATHY SONG.
You don’t care.
The joke’s on me. The joke’s on you.
THE JOKE’S ON DEMOCRACY TOO.
THE JOKE’S ON DEMOCRACY TOO.
We don’t care, care, care.
Joke’s on me. Joke’s on you.
JOKE’S ON DEMOCRACY TOO.
We don’t,
WE, WE, WE,
DON’T MIND!

Discouraging lyrics, Ted, though I like the recording. Gotta keep on standing up. All is not lost 😀

I am with you on keeping standing up. I guess it seemed like more of an observation of my generation. Standing by , while horrible stuff goes on. Also, my mood was tired, I like the music, the lyricism really felt poor and I knew it. Sometimes I plod on, creatively, knowing that I am in a bogged down spot. Working thru it, you understand.

I had high hopes for the generation growing up in the 60’s and 70’s. I thought that when we all became the current leaders, things would change for the better. Some progress, but it’s a slow boat and there are a ton of anchors dragging on the bottom. 🙂

What a great analogy. So, it seems, we are all on this shipwreck together.
