Do you not hear me anymore I know it's not your thing to care I know it's cool to be so bored I sucks me in When you're aloof It sucks me in, it sucks it works I guess it's cool to be alone Will you 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 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Watch the Rockford Files And call to see if Paul can score some weed. Do you never rest Fighting the battle of who could care less Unearned unhappiness That's all right I guess I've got this great idea Why don't we pitch it to the Franklin Fucking Mint Fine pewter portraits of General apathy and major boredom singing Whatever and ever Amen Oh well maybe not I'll try again This should cheer you up for sure See I've got your old I.D. And you're all dressed up like the Cure You never rest Fighting the battle Of who could care less Unearned unhappiness You're my hero I confess
