Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Will you never rest?
Fightin' the battle of who could care less
Every day you wake up late
Sometimes I wish I was that way
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Do you never rest?
Fight the battle of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
Well, that's all right I guess
[Verse 5]
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 singin'
Whatever and ever, amen
[Verse 6]
Oh, well, maybe not, I'll try again
Well, this should cheer you up for sure
See, I've got your old ID
And you're all dressed up like the Cure
[Verse 7]
You never rest
Fight the battle of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
You're my hero, I confess
