The laundry is piled to the ceiling, The first layer of paint is peeling, There are mud-prints all over the stairs, Am I supposed to care? I have eighty-nine tonnes of homework, My mother keeps yelling to "get up! Put away those dishes over there!" Am I supposed to care? The teacher is mumbling and teaching And suddenly now she is screeching, "Pay attention! Sit up in your chair!" Am I supposed to care? I lie awake most nights crying, With idle thoughts of dying. Reality is my nightmare, I just wish somebody would care.

Am I Supposed to Care?
The laundry is piled to the ceiling, The first layer of paint is peeling, There are mud-prints all over the stairs, Am I supposed to care? I have eighty-nine tonnes of homework, My mother keeps yelling to "get up! Put away those dishes over there!" Am I supposed to care? The teacher is mumbling and teaching And suddenly now she is screeching, "Pay attention! Sit up in your chair!" Am I supposed to care? I lie awake most nights crying, With idle thoughts of dying. Reality is my nightmare, I just wish somebody would care.
