THINK THE WORLD
i really don't care about world affairs i keep myself in line i really don't care about politix it's just a waste of time i'm not as dumb as you think i am i might know a thing or two i really don't care about nothing at all but i think the world of you i really don't care about world peace i try not to be a jerk i really don't care about the meaning of life or my place in the universe i'm not as dumb as you think i am i might know a thing or two i really don't care about nothing at all but i think the world of you i'm not phobic, philic, sick or blind people want to judge me they exercise their open minds call me names and make fun of me i'm not as dumb as you think i am i might know a thing or two i really don't care about nothing at all but i think the world of you i really don't care about nothing at all but i think the world of you i really don't care about nothing at all but i think the world of you

pretty simple, right? he doesn't care about anything else, just you. it's so upbeat =D
well...actualy if you think about it...hes saying that he really doesnt care about nothing at all....soo....that would mean that he is careing about something...english class...double negitive equals a positive...i guess i did learn something in highschool
well, while you're right sonargirl, i really think that whichever member wrote this song was really just trying to say "i don't care about anything at all." using a double negative is a natural feature in languages. english is one of the few languages that has a rule stating if you say "i do not care about nothing," you're really saying "i care about something."
i mean, you could be right; but that wouldn't flow with the song at all. he's naming a whole lot of stuff he doesn't care about too much.
so i think it's just using colloquial speech. i mean, most people i know use double negatives without even realizing it--because naturally we think of adding another negative to stress the negation, not to cancel it out, math style.
how's that for sucking the fun out of a great song? haha.
