  			E 
Why does the sun set in the west 
   B 
And why does my heart keep beating in my chest 
E 
Whatever happened to the Duke of Earl 
        B 
I got a PBS mind in an MTV world 
Asus2 
Is it ignorance or apathy 
E 
I forgot these lessons taught to me 
E           C#m7 
Some say life isn't fair 
B        C#m  
I don't know 
A          E 
And I don't care 
 
Ambivalent, well, yes and no 
Where did all the hippies go? 
Our conversations sound like actors lines 
Is the time for your medication or mine? 
Is it ignorance or apathy 
I forgot these lessons taught to me 
Some say life isn't fair 
I don't know and I don't care. 
 
F#m11       
Therapy is extremely expensive 
C#m7 
Popping bubble wrap is radically cheap 
D 
You choose which one helps with your problem 
D     A               B 
I'm gonna to get some sleep 
D     A               B 
I'm gonna to get some sleep 
 
Sandy beaches in distant reaches 
And oh, those lovely Georgia peaches 
It's never too much and never too late 
To pack your bags and get of state 
Is it ignorance or apathy 
I forgot these lessons taught to me 
Some say life isn't fair 
I don't know and I don't care.
