No Compassion

Track A6
 
[Chorus] In a world where people have problems In this world where decisions are a way of life Other people's problems, they overwhelm my mind They say compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time [Verse 1] So many people have their problems I'm not interested in their problems I guess I've experienced some problems But now I've made some decisions and It takes a lot of time to push away the nonsense Take my compassion, push it as far as it goes My interest level's dropping, my interest level is dropping I've heard all I want to and I don't want to hear any more [Verse 2] What are you, in love with your problems? I think you take it a little too far It's not so cool to have so many problems But don't expect me to explain your indecisions Go talk to your analyst, isn't that what they're paid for? You walk, you talk, you still function like you used to It's not a question of your personality or style Be a little more selfish, it might do you some good [Chorus] In a world where people have problems In this world where decisions are a way of life Other people's problems, they overwhelm my mind They say compassion is a virtue, but I don't have the time [Outro] Here we go again
