No One Cares

If I strive to help the needy
No one cares
If I sacrifice my soul
No one cares
If I give the world my heart
Everyone would rip it apart
Simple wisdom I'll impart:
No one cares

When I try to do my best
No one cares
They'll reward all the rest
No one cares
When I try to claim my due
They ignore me; this is true
Yes, no matter what I do
No one cares

When, like Twist, I ask for more
No one cares
They'll patronize me or ignore, 'cause
No one cares
But when I make a small mistake
Reprimand's a piece of cake
All achievements they'll forsake, 'cause
No one cares

When, in pain, I feel like crying
No one cares
And my spirit's slowly dying
No one cares
When for respect I sigh
And I wonder why I try
"Stay the course"? Why should I?
No one cares!
