I Don't Want To Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One day I caught myself. I had trained myself to walk past the hungry, the homeless, the insane, the "least of these," and not even notice. It was out of shame that I wrote this.
I don't wanna know
What's wrong with you
And I don't wanna know
All the bad things that you're goin' through
You walk barefoot in the snow
I used to walk ten miles to school
I've got problems of my own
So don't worry about me, I won't worry about you
(Chorus)
Every time I see you hurting
Every cry I hear
Will toughen up my heart, and someday you will disappear
'Cause I don't wanna know
No I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
'Bout your starving little babies
And I don't wanna know
Clean up your act and someday maybe
You'll stand on your own
Get a job and stop complaining
Please leave me alone
Well get inside you foolish baby
(Chorus)
Every time I see you hurting
Every cry I hear
Will toughen up my heart, and someday you will disappear
'Cause I don't wanna know
No I don't wanna know
