Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
[Verse 1]
B
I don't really even want to know you With your backstage wisdom like a boarded up window
E
Who are we to go and make big plans? Married in a fever, children in a panic
B
Deep sea diver, advertising ruin With the underwater fire, state sponsored pollution
E
Closing our eyes, blindly to town Hoping that Mama does not see us now
B E
We've become the world's first millionaires
B F# E
You know, the ones who just don't care
[Verse 2]
B
Can't even taste it but it's really nothing new And it smells of compromise with subtle
hints of confusion
E
Holidays are working days to us now We are lifting dead weight and embracing self-doubt
B
The shirt with the wine stain, the car is not running A policeman laughs but it's really
not funny
E
Who will save me when I'm feeling this down All God's children are useless to me now
B
We have come for solitary fun, debonair
B F# E
You know, for the ones who just don't care
[Verse 3]
B
All of the innocents we've yet to cast out In a hesitating nation on the way to nervous
breakdown
E
In a certain way, I'm sitting pretty now I've got a hundred dollar bill to plug the
politician's mouth
B
It's written in the paper, there's a fever taking hold And now it's everyone gathered
'round the toilet bowl
E
What a shame and what a letdown You will be dead before the bottom drops out
B E
All is well so long as you say your little prayers
B F# E
You know, for the ones who just don't care
B E
When you are the one who didn't care
B F# E
And you are the one who just don't care
