[Verse 1]
Just like the kids, I've been navigating my way
Through the mind-numbing reality of a godless existence
Which, at this point in my hollow and vapid life
Has erased what little ambition I've got left
And I've embraced the calamity
With a detachment and a passive disinterest
Livin' out the back of my '97 Camry
Wonderin' how the hell I got myself into this
[Chorus]
I guess it doesn't matter anyway
I don't care about nothin' but you
I guess it doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I don't care about nothin'
I don't care about nothin' but you
No, I don't care about nothin'
[Verse 2]
She said, "I'm sick of it all
Your little games are gettin' old
Your little songs are getting way too literal
How about some goddamn subtlety for a change?"
She said, "I feel like I've come untethered
In a room without walls
I'm driftin' on a dark and empty sea of nothin'
It doesn't feel bad, it feels like nothin' at all"
[Chorus]
I guess it doesn't matter anyway
I don't care about nothin' but you
I guess it doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I don't care about nothin'
[Post-Chorus]
And I had it maxed out
I had a feelin', oh-oh-oh-oh
Nothin' is workin'
And everything's bleedin', oh-oh-oh-oh
I shoulda tapped out
Given into my demons, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
It's alright, it's just a flesh wound
You said you never saw it comin'
I'm pretty happy lyin' here with you
It's pretty good to feel somethin'
[Chorus]
I don't care about nothin' but you
No, I don't care about nothin'
I don't care about nothin' but you
No, I don't care about nothin'
[Post-Chorus]
And I had it maxed out
I had a feelin', oh-oh-oh-oh
Nothin' is workin'
And everything's bleedin', oh-oh-oh-oh
I shoulda tapped out
Given into my demons, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
I had it maxed out (I had it maxed out)
And nothin' is workin' (Nothin' is workin')
And everything's bleedin', oh-oh-oh-oh
Kids was written by Nestor Chumak & Stefan Babcock & Steve Sladkowski & Zack Mykula.
Kids was produced by Dave Schiffman.
“It’s about what happens when you stumble across the only other person on the face of this godless, desolate planet that thinks everything is as twisted and as fucked up as you do. And thanks to them, the world starts to seem just a little less bleak,“ said frontman Stefan Babcock in a press release...
