(Super Furry Animals) Spent some times in stormy weather Under clouds of my dilemma Now there's nothing much to do Except for sitting in front of televisions Staring back at me I'm just waiting for the microwaves To wash me into the sea You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else Out of focus ideology Keep the masses from majority Experts blame my stupid plan Left to bleed while vultures glide You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else You know they don't give a f*ck about anybody else
