Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In a world where people have problems
In this world where decisions are a way of life
Other people's problems
They overwhelm my mind
They say compassion is a virtue
But I don't have the time
[Verse 2]
So many people have their problems
I'm not interested in their problems
I guess I've experienced some problems
But now I've made some decisions
[Verse 3]
Takes a lot of time
To push away the nonsense
Take my compassion
Push it as far as it goes
[Verse 4]
My interest level's dropping
My interest level is dropping
I've heard all I want to
And I don't want to hear any more
[Verse 5]
What are you, in love with your problems?
I think you take it a little too far
It's not so cool to have so many problems
But don't expect me to explain your indecisions
[Verse 6]
Go talk to your analyst
Isn't that what they're paid for?
You walk, you talk
You still function like you used to
[Verse 7]
It's not a question of your personality or style
Be a little more selfish
It might do you some good
[Verse 8]
In a world where people have problems
In this world where decisions are a way of life
Other people's problems
They overwhelm my mind
They say compassion is a virtue
But I don't have the time
[Verse 9]
Here we go again
