Lyrics for I Don't Care as interpreted by knockout000

I Don't Care Lyrics
Say my name, and his in the same breath, I
Dare you to say they taste the same,
Let the leaves fall off in the summer
And let December glow feel flames

Brace myself and let go,
Start it over again in Mexico
These friends, they don't love you
They just love the hotel suites, now

I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Oh, take a chance, let your body get a tolerance,
I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants
Pull a breath like another cigarette,
Palms up, I'm trading 'em (trading 'em)

I'm the oracle in my chest,
Let the guitar scream like a fascist,
Sweat it out, shut your mouth,
Free love on the streets, but
In the alley and I ain't that cheap, now

I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Said-a, I don't care just a-what you think,
As long as it's about me, you said-a
I don't care just what you think,
As long as it's about me, you said-a
I don't care (I don't care)
You said I don't care (I don't care)
Said I don't care,
I don't care
I don't care (I don't care), I said-a
I don't care

I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

I don't care what you think,
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

i'm still undecided about this song, it's so different from their usual but it's not bad. i like it, but i hope they have some of their older sounding stuff on folie a deux. anyway, i'm excited! i don't know what to expect, i'm so anxious about this CD.

What happened to fall out boy?! They used to be so good, the beginning of this song is like a poppy rip off of a marilyn manson, can't remember which song tho

I don't care what you think
As long as it's about me
The best of us can find happiness
In misery

Maybe the happiness they're finding is from the money their making, the misery that of their fans who liked their early stuff

"Palms up, I'm trading 'em (trading 'em)"

i think the line should be "pawn shop, i'm tradin' up (or 'em, sometimes i hear up... idk."

also, in an article today on mtv.com patrick said...

"Like the chorus says, 'I don't care what you think as long as it's about me.' It's that pop culture thing again, where people don't care about anything but the superficial, and I think there's something so tragic about that," he laughed. "I also thought there was something so ironically anthemic about the chorus, where it's not something you want to sing along to, because it's vacuous and empty. So I wanted something really anthemic underneath it, like something you'd hear at sports games or whatever, because I wanted people to hear it and be confronted with how empty that is. I didn't want anything to be superficial on this record unless the point was to point out superficiality."

I think it's 'arm the oracle in my chest'

Not sure though. Just like I'm not sure about this song.

To me, the very start sounds like the start of a Missy Higgins song LOL

Reading the above quote from Patrick confirms to me that he is a legend.
This song is gonna be the anthem for millions of screaming noobs.

music sounds like Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode, which was redone by Marilyn Manson and sampled by Jamelia in 'beware of the dog'... can't they come up with something more original??

"I'm not a chance, but a heat wave in your pants" is a weird line lol. Reminds me of "Friction in your jeans..."

Anyways, the song is pretty straight forward: Its about someone who is an attention whore. I'm sure everyone knows of one in their high school. Basically they don't care if they ruin their image or their name, as long as they're the center of attention and they're all everyone is talking about (regardless of if it's good talk or bad talk).

The song is growing on me, but its not really the Fall Out Boy I came to love. Their current image and portrayal by the media, especially Pete Wentz, makes me sick. I stick with these guys for Patrick and company, not Pete.

The lyrics are, as always, very tongue-in-cheek and witty, I doubt Fall Out Boy will ever lose that style. I just hope they don't fully abandon the TTTYG style that made me like them so much in the first place.

Its funny to think to think how long ago it was now that I discovered "Grand Theft Autumn" and all of my friends simply said, 'Fall Out who?"

just a couple corrections on the lyrics:

"Palms up , I'm trading 'em (Trading 'em)" is actually "Pawn shop, I'm tradin' up (Tradin' up)"

"Free love on the streets, but
In the alley and I ain't that cheap, now " is "Free love on the streets, but
in the alley, it ain't that cheap, now "

I love this song. I heard about it around a week ago and I've been listening to it non-stop ever since.

Patrick's voice sounds really good in this.
And the beat is sorta different, not like most FOB songs.
Well, it doesn't sound like most to me.

I really love the "say my name and his in the same breath
I dare you to say they taste the same."

Overall, I'm excited for the new album.
I really like their old stuff, but it's the same with PATD.
Their first album is a complete 360 from their second.
They're both really good.

I'm still in love with FOB. :)

they always release the catchiest song as the first single, which isn't neccesarily the best..
i'm hoping the rest of the new album is better.
