We Care A Lot Lyrics
(We care a lot)
(We care a lot)
(We care a lot) about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
(We care a lot) about Los Angeles falling in the sea
(We care a lot) about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
(We care a lot) about disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah!
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
(We care a lot)
(We care a lot)
(We care a lot) about the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
(We care a lot) about the people who live off the street
(We care a lot) about the welfare of all the boys and girls
(We care a lot) about you people cause we're out to save the world
Yeah!
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
(We care a lot) about the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines
(We care a lot) about the NY, SF and LAPD
(We care a lot) about you people
(We care a lot) about your guns
(We care a lot) about the wars you're fighting gee that looks like fun
(We care a lot) about the Garbage Pail Kids, they never lie
(We care a lot) about Transformers because there's more than meets the eye
(We care a lot) about the little things, the bigger things we top
(We care a lot) about you people, yeah you bet we care a lot
Yeah!
Said it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Well it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Said it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Well it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Well it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Said it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Said it's a dirty song but someone's gotta sing it
Woah!

This song is hilarious. It makes fun of celebrities who make it to the top and suddenly have nowhere else to go to feel like good, productive people, so they branch out into charity work and try to "save the world." I like how it starts out normal "disasters, fires, floods" and gets absurd by the end of the first line: They care about "killer bees," and finally just gets downright ridiculous "We care a lot about Transformers because there's more than meets the eye."
Terrific.
Chuck Mosley definitely had a good voice for punk. But I think that was the problem, the rest of the band just wasn't punk, and it didn't really work with many songs other than this one.
Without a doubt my favorite genre in music is punk, but Mike Patton suited Faith No More so much better technically that there's just no comparing Mosley to him. I agree mostly with mykal77, when you hear Patton cover this song you realize how badly he outclassed Mosley even at his own game.
It's a pity Mike Patton changed so much over the years though. There were a couple of good tracks on Peeping Tom, but half the time he tries so hard to be strange that his music ends up lame, and it's annoying to listen to knowing how much talent he has. He's just gone way over the top but I guess that's his schtick now.
As for the meaning of this song, I think it's about people who get caught up in the news and go on a morality rampage to place themselves on a moral high ground, so they feel superiority & self worth. Or alternatively, I think it could be about apathy in our society.
i like mosley's voice
this is the theme song for 'Dirty Jobs' on the discovery channel...bad ass.
Its about somebody watching too damn much tv news in the 80s.
It's about famous people dping charity shows. Like live aid. "It's a dirty job, but someones gotta do it" is meant sarcasticly..
you cant beat a song that says: "About Transformers cos there more than meets the eye" Classic, My friend Aidan, my partner Ricky and I saw them last week and our friend kept singing " We care a lot, about the fishes and the animals in the zoo" We got a little bit of a gigle out of it lol
It's easy to be indifferent to the ways of the world, but that just leads to one living an empty life.
Really, no one has said this yet?
I don't think this is about celebrities at all, at least, not in the way you guys are thinking. This is about politicians who will say anything to secure votes. It's sarcasm from the politician's point of view. This verse here,
"We care a lot about the army navy air force and marines We care a lot about the SF, NY and LAPD We care a lot about you people, about your guns about the wars you're fighting gee that looks like fun"
These are the exact platforms that political candidates run on. Military, police, American freedoms, and wars. Not sure where you'll all getting celebrities out of this.

Seems like a distinction without a difference. Like they say, DC is Hollywood for ugly people.

I like the version of We Care A Lot more on this album than on their 2nd one, this one feels more like true grunge and feels more rebellious.
