I Don'T Care

I DON'T CARE 
 
(verse 1) 
Do you think I'm really lost,  
what makes your religion my salvation? 
How much will it really cost, 
for the deluxe package of aggravation? 
Rush to church on Sunday. 
Crush the weak on Monday. 
You better get out of my face, 
and get off of my case. 
 
(chorus) 
I don't care,
and can't care........About  your kind! 
I never did care, 
and never will care...............For you! 
 
(verse 2) 
Go off and fight your wars, 
for your religious leaders or emperors. 
Super troopers of death hiding behind their crosses, 
never look back on all of the losses. 
History is full of lies, 
and time never dies. 
Don't think I like, 
and never will like. 
 
(chorus) 
I don't care, 
and can't care........About  your kind! 
I never did care, 
and never will care...............For you! 
 
(verse 3) 
They came to America from across the sea, 
and the natives welcomed them with food. 
The foreigners took greed to a new degree, 
by killing the buffalo only for their fur. 
When they raped the land from the tribes, 
they forced the people to live on reservations. 
They slaughtered their women and children, 
and then burned down their villages. 
 
(chorus) 
I don't care, 
and can't care........About  your kind! 
I never did care, 
and never will care...............For you!
