Battle of Who Could Care Less Lyrics
Do you not hear me anymore
I know it's not your thing to care
I know it's cool to be so bored
I sucks me in
when you're aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks it works
I guess it's cool to be alone
Will you never rest
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Everyday you wake up late
Sometimes I wish I was
that way
And you think Rockford Files is cool
But there are some things
that you would change
if it were up to you
So think about your masterpiece
Watch the Rockford Files
And call to see if Paul can score some weed.
Will you never rest
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
That's all right I guess...
I've go this great idea
Why don't we pitch it to the Franklin Fucking Mint
Fine pewter portraits of
general apathy and major boredom singing...
Whatever and ever Amen
Oh well maybe not try again
This should cheer you up for sure
See I've got your old I.D.
And you're all dressed up like the Cure
Will you never rest
fighting the battle
of who could care less
unearned unhappiness
You're my hero I confess
I know it's not your thing to care
I know it's cool to be so bored
I sucks me in
when you're aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks it works
I guess it's cool to be alone
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Everyday you wake up late
Sometimes I wish I was
that way
But there are some things
that you would change
if it were up to you
So think about your masterpiece
Watch the Rockford Files
And call to see if Paul can score some weed.
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
That's all right I guess...
Why don't we pitch it to the Franklin Fucking Mint
Fine pewter portraits of
general apathy and major boredom singing...
Whatever and ever Amen
Oh well maybe not try again
This should cheer you up for sure
See I've got your old I.D.
And you're all dressed up like the Cure
Will you never rest
fighting the battle
of who could care less
unearned unhappiness
You're my hero I confess

i don't think catch-22 is the correct term in describing apathy as a goal...oxymoron perhaps? catch-22 refers to an inescapable situation...like no matter what path you take, you're screwed.
"Well this should cheer you up for sure / See, I've got your old ID, and you're all dressed up like the Cure" is Ben breaking the guy's balls a little bit.
During the 80s his grumpy hipster friend was obviously a Robert Johnson-emulating Goth. Because it was cool at the time. Now that's not cool anymore, and he's emulating something else, and would presumably be mortified to see himself looking so "uncool" with his stringy long black hair and such on his old ID.
fairly self explanatory this really. About a person who has a friend who is just about the most nochalent person he knows, where being casual is cool, to the point where it's just an act. Good song, 'whatever and ever, amen'
This song completely reminds me of an ex-boyfriend who is now a friend. Especially the first stanza and the lines about how his aloofness sucks the person in. It's a great song :)
Love this song. My best friend in high school was just like this. Exactly like this. We haven't hung out in over 20 years, but I still think of her when I hear this song. And how she made me feel so small with her apathy to everything I said or did. And yet, in high school, I always wished I could be more like her. Gotta love those old high school best friends.

"Why don't we pitch it to the Franklin fucking mint Fine pewter portraits of General Apathy and Major Boredom singing... Whatever and ever Amen"
I agree with anna118k, those are awesome lines. My favorites. GENERAL apathy & MAJOR boredom. Wow. :o) I am very much intrigued by these kind of people, these extremely zoned out people who can just ignore everything and be cool. Wish I could be like that sometimes. Really.
Seems like a song about the complete and total disregard for any kind of deity or ruling force - 'Whatever and ever, Amen' is like aThere may be a God but I dont really care if there is one' kind of thing
First Ben song i heard. beauty. Two people that 'religiously' follow the belief that they have to act aloof to win. I can never be bothered with these mind games or the way some girls start arguements in relationships cos they think we'll break up and make up passionately. I certainly proved her half-right! heh, heh.
i love this song. "whatever and ever amen"... its so brilliant.
yeah this song is definately about an extremely apathetic person.
