Why I Shouldn't Give A Fuck

p



Why should I give a f*ck
What the f*ck are they gonna do for me
All it does is cause me pain and suffering

Why should I care
When all they've done is tore me down
Made me put my head down
Made me turn away
Made me feel alone

So why should I care
When the only person who will have my back is me

Why should I try
If I am not the one to make them happy
If I can not be the one to make them happy
To make them happy would be to put on a showing

They're the kings and queens of this kingdom and I'm the Jester
Jest no longer

Let the Jester take off his mask and pull out a gat
Stick of Truth
Not giving a shit and not giving a shit about it
A gun to spray down the kings and queens
So they can be monarchs no longer
But dead bodies like the rest of us
And the Jester will proclaim

The world is my stage
And in this court
I'll do what I will
