"About Anything" lyrics

This song is interesting only because I wrote it from the point of view of someone else. That someone else happens to be Trotta. You see, ever since Trotta tried to write lyrics and kinda failed a long time ago, he's been discouraged and hasn't really had the balls to put pen to paper. So I took the initiative to be his balls. Cuz that's what best friends are for! This song is basically Trotta's life philosophy. He knows what is truly important, and when he does care about something, it's for good reason. He loves his friends more than anyone I've ever met, cuz he realizes that in the longrun, his true friends are gonna be the ones that matter to his life. When something shitty happens to him which most people get all depressed about, myself included, he just shrugs it off and moves on. I wish I could be like him and I wanted to convey his attitude in a song, so that's why this happened. This is one of the 'Shitting Songs'- songs which I wrote while sitting on the toilet in Cole's house at band practice. The musical style is nothing special, in my opinion, but it's really fun to play and jam on and punk out (yeah, it's really Suicide Machines-esque). This all came about in a way that I knew would be pleasing to Trotta, because he didn't hafta think too hard. And Cole has to play pretty fast, but he gets a cool little drum break area towards the end. I wrote it in late 2007. This song is so-titled because there are so many songs called 'I Don't Care' (Black Flag's song is the only one I could think of that really matters) that I would have regretted naming it thusly. Here it is.

You know you can't help it
All it is is a feeling that you can't decipher,
You can't decide for yourself
What could make this any better
Better than this, cuz this is bliss
Let us all stand together

You know I don't care
I don't care about anything
But I don't care about anything
No I don't care
I don't care about anything
But I don't care about anything

Better watch your pockets
Someone's trying to rip you off again. And again,
Life goes on
If you sweat the little things
They will be the means to your end
To your end, well

You know I don't care
I don't care about anything
But I don't care about anything
No I don't care
I don't care about anything
But I don't care about anything

No I don't care
I don't care about anything
But I don't care about anything
No I don't care
I don't care about anything
And I don't care about anything
