Life & Island Times: My Give a Damn’s Busted

Editor’s Note: It was an interesting day. I think I will go for a swim.

My Give a Damn’s Busted

Untitled-1

Well they filled up my head
With so many lies
Then twisted my heart
‘Til something snapped inside
I’d give it one more try
But my give a damn’s busted

They try to crawl back into my heart
Say they were wrong
Stand out in my yard
And cry all night long
Go ahead and water the lawn
My give a damn’s busted

I used to want to really care
I wanted to see them do somethin
All they do is dig their own holes a little deeper
Naw
Sorry
Nothin’

They say the country’s got issues
Tell us we’re all victims
It’s all the other party’s fault
They say after all I didn’t pick ’em
Maybe somebody else’s got time to listen
My give a damn’s busted

Well their staffs say
It was all a mistake
A product of alt news
And my 24/7 co-dependent media ways
Should have quit these enablers back in the day
My give a damn’s busted

I used to want to really care
I wanted to see them do somethin
All they do is dig their own holes a little deeper
Naw
Sorry
Nothin’

It’s a desperate situation they say
No tellin’ what might happen to you
If I don’t forget and forgive them
They say the nation is through
Come on, I respond, give me somethin’ I can use
My give a damn’s busted

I used to want to really care
I wanted to see them do somethin
All they do is dig their own holes a little deeper
Naw
Sorry
Nothin’
