I Just Don't Care

King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson

They say that idle hands just make trouble,

But i'll just dig a little deeper if you give the shovel.

They say if you stand still you won't get nowhere,

Well i don't have any burdens.

'cause i just don't care.

I just don't care!



I played the guitar when i was eight and they said go away,

But, now that i'm charging a rate they all want me to stay.

People say that you're crazy if you take a dare.

So, lock me up and commit me

'cause i just don't care!



I'm worry free, carelessly passing time relentlessly,

I am who i am.

The bills are late-to compensate i guess i'll leave it up to fate.

I really don't give a damn!

I just don't care!



Satisfaction can't always be a guarantee,

But it doesn't take much for me because, i'm easy to please

I say please. i say thankyou because, i know that manners are rare

But, if i forget-to hell with it

I don't care
