Nobody Could Care Less About Your Private Lives

The well-to-do family, the rich
In a life they talk about themselves
All the time but if they do
It's because they can afford to
Nobody could care less about your private life

But the cure's nice and care too (?)
Sentimental they'll always be
Looking inside themselves and if they don't
It's because they can't afford to
Nobody could care less about your private life

The well-to-do don't believe
In thinking anymore
But the workers must always use their heads
They've had it if they don't
And nobody could care less about your private life

notes:

Malcolm:

I gradually moved away from a psychological point of view towards a political one. This song sums up this process. I quite like the song because it's slow without being laborious. Originally the drums were there all the way through the song, but during the mix we decided to bring them in half way through, which means the song builds up quite nicely.
