The Man Who Doesn'T Care
Last trip he jumped ship
Off life's ocean liner
Asking you what's that got to do
With the price of tea in China
Uninspired he grew tired
Of the massive here and there
Another sign of the times
With the man who doesn't care
Taking all he's given
In opinions over time
Says a fool will only do
Enough to get by
According to the warning
In the buyer beware
Much the same in what you give away
The man who doesn't care
No need to borrow sorrow
In these days of make believe
Easily seen within reach
As they hand it out for free
Time is wasted in the making
If all you do is stop and stare
That's why each day he goes the way
Of the man who doesn't care
