yes, you're taking it badly, i know, i know,
and you feel so alone
and everybody's got to tell you what you already know
it's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright

there's a riot going on, maybe i'm going under and
i didn't know that you cared
"was it love that you had?" she said
well "something like that" and i
i didn't know that you cared
i really didn't know that you cared
i really didn't know

i see photograps strewn on the floor
amidst your blake and your young
are you looking for something that's already gone?

it's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright

there's a riot going on maybe i'm going under and
i didn't know that you cared, somebody said
"peace is alright, could we give it a try?", well, i,
i didn't know that you cared

i got a letter it was asking for money, it said
give what you can
well i don't know what i got
and i don't know if i really want to be, so well

yes, i'm falling apart at the seems and i,
i've been waiting for years
take a look in my eyes, do you see any tears?

it's alright, it's all wrong, it's alright

there's a riot going on, we're lions in slumber and,
i didn't know that you cared
and if i gave you some petrol, would you make yourself useful?
well i didn't know that you cared
i really didn't know that you cared
didn't even know you were there no
i didn't know that you cared
