lyrics

You can be a token dimwit
Consume and be afraid until you need it
And only eat whatever's fallen off the tree

Or you can look around and find them
The hopeless and the "free", you can blind them
Be whatever kind of pig you wanna be

Take what you owe
Just let that burden go
You're thinking but you just don't know
Nobody gonna try and heal it

No way, what do I care?
No way, what does it mean to me?
No way, cuz I'll never know them
No way, let them drown

Everybody got a slogan
Gonna give us hope and change, bullshit
But people gotta have something to believe

A pretty picture on the TV
So now I know and I can talk about it, easy
Alright, let's go and have a drink

Apathy tears
Impotent prayers
You're talking but you just don't care
Nobody ever stop to say, "Oh teacher, what do I see?"

There's a mast going down and the ship has gone away
There's a bubbling in the sea and there's some children in the wake
A stinking in the air from this broken machine
Dirty Uncle Sam, ho ho say, "What do I care?

No way, what do I care?
No way, what does it mean to me?
No way, cuz I'll never know them
No way, let them drown

“His balance of deeply personal and broadly funny material, sarcasm and sincerity, social commentary and heart-on-the-sleeve emotional storytelling, calls to mind the dead-serious goofball poetics of somebody like Father John Misty, who feels like a contemporary touchstone.”
