This song is mocking the slackers that Ben Folds Five encountered in their home base of North Carolina, an unsuprisingly common trend in 1990’s America.

[Verse 1]
Do you not hear me anymore?
I know it's not your thing to care
I know it's cool to be so bored
It sucks me in when you're aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks it works
I guess it's cool to be alone

See, I've got your old I.D
And you're all dressed up like the Cure
[Chorus]
You never rest
Fighting the Battle of Who Could Care Less
Unearned unhappiness
You're my hero, I confess
