Nobody Cares

by tom witman - Aquarius

I got a blue plastic cup for my ice tea
I got a stool with an ashtray and my smokes on
The vision box is turned down low while a record plays on the phono
I got working hand blisters
While my curls disappear from my perm
I have extraordinary powers of imagination
Sometimes I discreetly use a little deception
When I say it just isn't fair
Still nobody cares
I got the expensive powder stains on my mirror
I got a six pack decaying away in the ice box
Can't get to sleep cos of my dogs continuous barking
My fingers are covered with nicotine stains
I just want to know who contrivance this thing called pain
So I just reach for a straw and reality slips away
When I say it just isn't fair
Still nobody cares
I got a yellow streak running down my spine
I have this incredible fright about dying
I got intense soul searching eyes
I have a strong will to cry
Everytime I think about no longer being alive
When I say it just isn't fair
Still nobody cares
