Lyrics:

by: Jim Mayer & Jimmy Buffett

Why does the sun set in the west
and why does my heart keep beating in my chest
what ever happened to the Duke of Earl
I gotta PBS mind in an MTV world

Is it ignorance or apathy
I forget these lessons taught to me
Some say life isn't fair
hey I don't know and I don't care

Ambivalent, well yes and no
hey where did all the hippies go
our conversation sounds like actors' lines
is it time for your medication or mine

Is it ignorance or apathy
I forget these lessons taught to me
Some say life isn't fair
hey I don't know and I don't care

Therapy is extremely expensive
popin' bubble wrap is radically cheap
you choose which one helps with your problem
I'm gonna get some sleep
I'm gonna get some sleep

(harp solo)

sandy beaches in distant reaches
and all those lovely Georgia peaches
it's never too much and never too late
to pack your bags and get out of state

Is it ignorance or apathy
the worried will all disagree
Some say life isn't fair
hell I don't know and I don't care

If you're looking for a quote from me
I'll be under the mango tree
I just can't say how I'll get there
hey I don't know and I don't care
I don't know and I don't care
I don't know and I don't care

WHITE MAN RAP
je ne sais pas (I don't know)
je ne carer (I don't care - bastardized French?)
and math still suks
uh oh that's the end of this record I gotta go out on the town

I don't know and I don't care
