No Compassion

Talking Heads · Talking Heads - Popular Favorites 1976-1992/sand In The Vaseline [1992]

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



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

Takes a lot of time

To push away the nonsense

Take my compassion

Push it as far as it goes

My interest level's dropping

My interest level is dropping

I've heard all I want to, I

Don't want to hear any more



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

Talk to your analysts

Isn't that what they're paid for?

You walk, you talk

You still function like you used to

It's not a question

Of your personality or style

Be a little more selfish

It might do you some good



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
