don't expect anything from me
-------------------------------------------

I can't talk about politics my words and values get confused I can't read the daily paper I fall asleep during the news I wish there were no genocide no hate or poverty but secretly I think inside, what does this matter to me? I'm lost, lost, lost What do I know, know, know? I'll never win this fight, I'll never show, my, true, flag I wish I knew all of those facts that everyone loves to spout I wish I had a clever reposte but my brain's in a drought Even when I read the news or catch it on TV it's never quite enough to mend my years of apathy Because I'm lost, lost, lost What do I know, know, know? I'll never win this fight, I'll never show, my, true, flag when you lend long diatribes, bout the economy I wish I knew if you are right, and if, perchance I agree But I'm lost, lost lost What do I know, know, know? I'll never win this fight, I'll never show, my, true, flag I'm lost, lost, lost I know nothing, at, all I have no pet cause Got political lockjaw I- I- I- so when you jump, on, me, so condescendingly, please just know, know, know, that I didn't read that article, I didn't take that class, oh no, I'll talk your ear off bout John Swift but labor laws, my lips are zipped, I never pretended to be on top of foreign policy Anything that's pertinent to any social movement, I'm just not on that continent I'm sorry!!! I'm lost, lost, lost What do I know, know, know? I'll never win this fight, I'll never show, my, true, flag I'm lost, so lost don't expect much from me because my world of paint doesn't need reality
