Nothing bad ever happens to me

Nothing bad ever happens to me

Why should I care?



A man broke into my neighborhood

He threatened the family with a loaded gun

He tied them all up and beat 'em real good

He took everything and he got away clean

And I can't believe that anyone would

Wanna do such a terrible thing

But why should I care?



Did ya hear about Fred, he's unemployed

They threw him away like a useless toy

He went down the drain after 20 long years

No warning, no pension and nobody's tears

And I can't believe that anyone would

Wanna do such a terrible thing

But why should I care?

Why should I care?



Every time I look around this place

I see them scream but I hear no sound

And the terrible things happen down the road

To someone else that I don't even know



CHORUS

Nothing bad ever happens to me

Nothing bad ever happens to me

Nothing bad ever happens to me

Nothing bad ever happens to me

Why should I care?



Have you heard about the Joneses, my, my, my

It happened so quick and no one knows why

Their teenage son, he seemed O.K.

But his suicide ruined everyone's day

And I can't believe that anyone would

Wanna do such a terrible thing

But why should I care?



CHORUS



(Nothing bad ever happens to me)

Nothing bad ever happens to me
