  • Don't care what you think. You think I care?
    (You humans can't see why pretty music came to be)
    I see where you stand, I'm standing here
    (So count the fuse flaming with me one, two, three)

    Yeah
    You won't be stopping me yet
    Yeah
    You won't be stopping me yet
    Yeah
    Thought I was covered in sweat
    Fast asleep in the bed you wet

    I'm young
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm dumb
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm stung
    (You bet I'm in it)
    You bet I'm deep in the thick of it, baby

    I'm young
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm dumb
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm stung
    (You bet I'm in it)
    You bet I'm deep in the thick of it, baby

    Don't care what you think. You think I care.
    (I'll call you Richard, if you will you bag of swill)
    Define your spine you're standing in line
    (Death is a crutch for me and mine)
    We're singing

    Yeah
    You think you know me so well
    Yeah
    You think I'd purchase what you sell
    Yeah
    Pickled in your private hell
    I will scream and I will yell

    I'm young
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm dumb
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm stung
    (You bet I'm in it)
    You bet I'm deep in the thick of it, baby

    I'm young
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm dumb
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm stung
    (You bet I'm in it)
    You bet I'm deep in the thick of it, baby

    When I was ten years young, my douche best friend
    Decided that I was just not cool enough for him
    My awkward frame and buck-tooth grin
    Were no accouterments for one with a new skin
    Well, late last week I saw that man
    He was far too high to grasp that I shook his hand
    I've got my pride and my rock band
    Singing words that he don't understand

    Don't care what you think. You think I care?
    (Don't care what you think. You think I care?)
    Don't care what you think. You think I care?
    (Don't care what you think. You think I care?)

    I'm young
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm dumb
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm stung
    (You bet I'm in it)
    You bet I'm deep in the thick of it, baby

    I'm young
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm dumb
    (You bet I'm in it)
    I'm stung
    (You bet I'm in it)
    You bet I'm deep in the thick of it, baby

    I'm young
    I'm dumb
    I'm stung

    I'm young
    I'm dumb
    I'm stung
