I Don't Care Lyrics
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
About this world
I don't care
About that girl
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
About these words
I don't care
(Repeat)
I don't care
I don't care
About this world
I don't care
About that girl
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
About these words
I don't care
(Repeat)

this fucking rocks!punk rock at its best!
This song is dope. It's sad that the Ramones are never going to get back together again cuz Johhny, Joey, and Dee Dee (although he quit the band) are dead now.
In general this song is about an outsider who is apathetic. It probably reflects how the Ramones (Joey in particular) felt about certain things because they grew up as outcasts. This is shown in many Ramones songs (for this song it would be in the line "I don't care, about these words") as well as in the documentary END OF THE CENTURY.
I don't think the living Ramones should ever get back together commercially, but if they wanted to do a special benefit for cancer research or something, CJ sings real well and plays bass, Marky and Richie on drums, and Tommy I think can play just about anything made anyway, and played some leads on a few studio recordings.

As a demo on their first ep special edition, this song is better than some stuff on the regular record
"I Don't Care," written by Joey, is one of the band's simplest and most negative songs. Joey told Jim Bessman in the Ramones book: "'I Don't Care'- people thought that was nihilistic but it really sort of evolved out of being in a heavy depression, some sort of insanity- mental illness."
this is my favorite song when I am depressed
When I met Joey Ramone at The Edge in Fort Lauderdale, 20 Apr 1995, I asked him about this song, if it was about him being a nihilist and not caring about things. Joey was very mono-syllabical when I met him, and he just said "Yeah". Then after a pause "especially when I was younger".
If you listen to the demo version, you can hear a definite Stogges influence. Real cool song.
