lyrics

GRADE THIRTEEN

I don't care, I don't care.
How many people stare and glare their eyes at me,
Foolish faces filled with stupidity,
And when they open their fat lips
Out slips triteless ambiguity,
It just don't bother me,
I don't care,
If they all fade out the door,
I don't care if they bother me no more,
I don't care this life is such a bore,
I don't care.

I'm not free, I'm not free,
When everyone has a hand in what I do,
When I can't say the things I want to say,
I must run away,
Before I'm sucked and swallowed by the leeches that surround me,
I'm not free when I can't see truth all the time,
I'm not free when I'm infected with the blind,
I'm not free when my mind's not worth a dime,
I'm not free.

I don't know, I'm not sure,
That everything is what it seems to be,
That homemade dreams can't give me what I want to see,
What's reality?
To those of us who know that life is for the dead,
And when you try to live,
You find the world won't give you life,
But only stab you with a knife in the back,
Life is black,
I'm not sure that reality's not a vice,
I'm not sure that truth is worth the price,
I'm not sure that playing dead's not nice,
I don't know, I'm not sure, I don't care.
