Rancid

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Lars Frederiksen]
A cat lies awake when it sleeps
Was she conscious of her own miseries?
Will the agony of her pain
Win her to enlightenment and set her conscience free?

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Armstrong]
Do you really wanna know what's happenin'?
Do you really wanna know what's goin' on?
Hey, girl, you better please take a look around
Explore your heart, find out for yourself

[Chorus]
Jenny Demilo
You don't care nothin' about me
Jenny Demilo
Well, you don't care nothin' 'bout me

[Verse 2: Lars Frederiksen]
I never really got a reason
Never had a use for one before
But now I know that there's now a prize
Both for the wise and the unwise

[Pre-Chorus: Tim Armstrong]
Do you really wanna know what's happenin'?
Do you really wanna know what's goin' on?
Hey, girl, you better please take a look around
Explore your heart, find out for yourself
[Chorus]
Jenny Demilo
You don't care nothin' about me
Jenny Demilo
Well, you don't care nothin' 'bout me

[Interlude]

[Bridge: Lars Frederiksen]
About me, about me
About me, yeah yeah, about me
About me, about me
About me, yeah yeah, nothin' 'bout me

[Chorus]
Jenny Demilo
You don't care nothin' about me
Jenny Demilo
Well, you don't care nothin' 'bout me

[Outro]
I say you don't care nothin' 'bout me
(Aw, you don't care, you really don't care)
I say you don't, yeah
(You really don't care, no, you don't care)
About me
(You don't care, you really don't care)
I say you don't, yeah, yeah, yeah
(You really don't care, no, you don't care)Embed
