Du-dudu-du-du-dudu-du
Du-dudu-du-du-dudu-du
Du-dudu-du-du-dudu-du
Du-dudu-du

Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I've spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree

Do you see me, do you see?
Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there?
Do you notice, do you know?
Do you see me, do you see me?
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fodder and take it if we can

My mother, my mother
She'd hold me
She'd hold me when I was out there
My father, my father
He liked me, well he liked me
Does anyone care?

Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am

And I miss you, I miss
'Cause I liked it
'Cause I liked it
When I was out there
Do you know this, do you know?
You did not find me
You did not find
Does anyone care?

Unhappiness where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fodder and take it if we can

My mother, my mother
She'd hold me
She'd hold me when I was out there
My father, my father
He liked me, well he liked me
Does anyone care?

Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?

Du-dudu-du-du-dudu-du
Du-dudu-du-du-dudu-du
Du-dudu-du-du-dudu-du
