Hesitating Nation - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

I don’t really even want to know you

With your backstage wisdom like a boarded up window

Who are we to go and make big plans?

Married in a fever, children in a panic

Deep sea diver, advertising ruin

With the underwater fire, state sponsored pollution

Closing our eyes, blindly to town

Hoping that Mama does not see us now

We’ve become the world’s first millionaires

You know, the ones who just don’t care

Can’t even taste it but it’s really nothing new

And it smells of compromise with subtle hints of confusion

Holidays are working days to us now

We are lifting dead weight and embracing self-doubt

The shirt with the wine stain, the car is not running

A policeman laughs but it’s really not funny

Who will save me when I’m feeling this down

All God’s children are useless to me now

We have come for solitary fun, debonair

You know, for the ones who just don’t care

All of the innocents we’ve yet to cast out

In a hesitating nation on the way to nervous breakdown

In a certain way, I’m sitting pretty now

I’ve got a hundred dollar bill to plug the politician’s mouth

It’s written in the paper, there’s a fever taking hold

And now it’s everyone gather 'round the toilet bowl

What a shame, and what a letdown

You will be dead before the bottom drops out

All is well so long as you say your little prayers

You know, for the ones who just don’t care

When you are the one who didn’t care

And you are the one who just don’t care
