Nobody Cares

Here is a nice, quirky song. I have no idea why I wrote it, or what it is altogether saying, but I do know I would have people chant sing the part 'nobody cares.' I broke it into parts instead of verses, etc. Letting structure go for the moment. It is a nice break from my more traditional Chase pieces, I call this my dark comedy.

Nobody Cares

Part 1
Got a note in my pocket
Telling me where to go.

It says go to hell,
And while you're there,
See if it snows.

Well it's kind of own my way,
So I might just take a stare.
'Cause when nobody knows,
Nobody cares.

Part 2
I could die in this city.
In the bricks beneath,

Bury my bones.
In my new found home
My soul will be free.

It might happen today.
Hey, you might you just take me there.
'Cause when nobody knows,
Nobody cares.

Part 3
Telephone is ringing,
But the dial-tone has long been dead.

I follow the sound,
And now I've found,
It's all in my head.

Well, I might as well pick up,
And hear the voice inside declare,
"When nobody knows,
Nobody cares."

Part 4
I know I am still waiting,
Waiting for signs of life.

And in this dream
There's you and me,
And me and my wife.

Well, I finally decided
To commit to my affair.
'Cause when nobody knows,

No one has to know.
No one has to know.
What we don't know can't hurt us;
Nobody cares.
