The Battle Of Who Could Care Less

Ben Folds


do you not hear me anymore? 
I know it's not your thing to care 
I know it's cool to be so bored 
sucks me in when you're aloof 
it sucks me in, it sucks, it works 
I guess it's cool to be alone 
will ya never rest? 
fighting the battle of who could care less 
everyday you wake up late 
sometimes I wish I was 
that way 

and you think Rockford Files is cool 
but there are some things 
that you would change 
if it were up to you 
so think about your masterpiece 
watch the Rockford Files 
call to see if Paul can score some weed 

do ya never rest? 
fighting the battle of who could care less 
unearned unhappiness 
well that's alright I guess 

and I've got 
this great idea 
why don't we pitch it to the Franklin fuckin' Mint? 
fine pewter portraits of 
General Apathy and 
Major Boredom singing 
whatever and ever amen 

oh well 
maybe not 
I'll try again 

well this should cheer you up for sure 
see, I've got your old I.D. 
and you're all dressed up like The Cure 

ya never rest 
fighting the battle of who could care less 
unearned unhappiness 
you're my hero, I confess
