You Only Care About You　[ᴘᴜɴᴋ]

　[Intro – Spoken] I’ve heard the speeches. I’ve read the posts. Sometimes they sound worried. Sometimes they sound sure. I kept trying to hear the good in it. Then I noticed what never changes. 　[Verse 1] You start with love for the old ways A pencil line, a tired hand A room that smells like wood and coffee I get it, I understand You say “don’t cheapen what we bled for” Say “don’t turn life into a trick” And part of me nods along ’Cause yeah—some things feel thick 　[Pre-Chorus] But when you talk long enough The worry turns into law And I can hear the lock Clicking in your jaw 　[Chorus] You don’t care about artists Or the water in the ocean You don’t care about humanity You only care about you It’s not self-preservation You’re not going anywhere It’s self-edification Scientists and engineers made art And that’s the problem for you That’s the sin You never wanted them to You only wanted it to be you 　[Verse 2] At first it’s “credit the work,” fine “Pay the people,” yeah, agreed But then it’s “nobody else gets to try” Unless they bleed the way you bleed You talk like craft is a locked room Like the door should stay opaque Like if someone learns the method The wonder starts to break 　[Pre-Chorus] You don’t fear the tool You fear the proof That it was always work 　[Chorus] You don’t care about artists Or the water in the ocean You don’t care about humanity You only care about you It’s not self-preservation You’re not going anywhere It’s self-edification Scientists and engineers made art And that’s the problem for you That’s the sin You never wanted them to You only wanted it to be you 　[Verse 3] Then comes the panic dressed as service Worst-case sold as guaranteed And when somebody asks for numbers You hand them smoke and creed You call it theft before you look Dead before you hear it breathe ’Cause a gate you can’t keep closed Feels like a threat to your belief 　[Final Chorus] You don’t care about artists Or the water in the ocean You don’t care about humanity You only care about you It’s not self-preservation You’re not going anywhere It’s self-edification Scientists and engineers made art And that’s the problem for you That’s the sin You never wanted them to You only wanted it to be you
