If Only You Cared

We’re all wrapped up in cotton wool
Don’t talk to me I got blinds to pull
Not much of a reader, only get to Page 3
Beyond that for me, there’s nothing to see
Show me fame or show me money
Don’t care about bees, just want the fucking honey
Why rock the boat, don’t look for trouble
Leave me be, I’m happy in my bubble

If only you cared about the welfare system
Like you care about your personal fitness programme
If only you cared about your local community
Like you care about your Instagram followers
If only you cared about workers rights
Like you care about getting that promotion
I mean… you’re not getting a promotion
Face it – you’re shit at your job mate

If only you cared x8

If only you cared about our liberation
Like you care about our push-up bras
If only you cared about freedom of movement
Like you care about staring at your smart phone
If only you cared about the wars we go to
Like you care about getting to the party
We kill our energy getting wasted
Get us another drink from the bar mate

I see you, but you don’t see me
You’re so self-obsessed you’re practically blind
I see you, but you don’t see me
It’s all about you, isn’t it? It’s all about you…

If only you cared about the poor
Like you care about fucking football
If only you cared about the sick
Like you care about fucking tennis
If only you cared about the elderly
Like you care about fucking cricket
I mean… it’s fucking cricket!
Come on – sort it out lad

If only you cared about melting ice caps
Like you care about the latest gadgets
If only you cared about food poverty
Like you care about gourmet dining
If only you cared about anything worthwhile
Like you care about vacuous celebrities
I mean… fucking bullshit arse-crack celebrities!
Come on – sort your fucking priorities out!

If only you cared x7
Why don’t you fucking care?

I see you, but you don’t see me
You’re so self-obsessed you’re practically blind
I see you, but you don’t see me
It’s all about you, isn’t it? It’s all about you…
