Folds, Ben - Battle Of Who Could Care Less Lyrics
Do you not hear me anymore?
I know it's not your thing to care
I know it's cool to be so bored
It sucks me in when you're aloof
It sucks me in, it sucks it works
Do you never rest
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Everyday you wake up late
Sometimes I wish I was that way
And you think Rockford Files is cool
But there are some things that you would change if it were up to you
So think about your masterpiece (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Watch the Rockford Files and call to see if Paul can score some weed
Will you never rest
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
That's all right I guess
I've got this great idea
Why don't we pitch it to the Franklin fucking Mint?
Fine pewter portraits of
General Apathy and Major Boredom singing
"Whatever and ever amen"
Oh well, maybe not, I'll try again
Well, this should cheer you up for sure
See, I've got your old I.D.
And you're all dressed up like the Cure
You never rest
Fighting the battle of who could care less
Unearned unhappiness
You're my hero, I confess

Folds, Ben Battle Of Who Could Care Less Comments
Founding member, fan club of the little trill he does at 2:46.
The whitest song ever written
Vevo thanks so much for censoring the word "fucking" from this great song. That little blank space may just have saved amurcan youth from a life of drugs, degradation, and crime.
See I got your old I.D. Your all dressed up like the Cure... Ahhh back in the day... Love the Cure
Ben folds .....class ..
The man is cool as fook
“Honor not happiness...”
On a bad day is this my therapy to smile again....what ever and ever...amen...
ultimate slacker theme song
Great song, though as I get older, I realise not giving a shit is one of the greatest attributes one can have.
If Terry the Toad from American Graffiti was a musician, he would be Ben Folds. And if u don't like this comment, ur an idiot who doesn't get references.
HOW ON EARTH, does this track only have 784,000 views :( ? This song was the soundtrack to my teenage crew in Adelaide, South Australia at the time. The best of times. The best of Ben Folds.
Folds beats the crap out of a piano. Almost as bad as Jerry Lee Lewis.
I was pretty sure this song was about someone he knew personally, as many of his songs are personal. Easily one of the greatest songwriters of all time
The Rockford files are way cool BTW
first listen, may 1997: this is weird.
second listen: I FUCKIN LOVE THIS!!!!!
“I’ve got your old ID and you’re dressed up like the cure” fuckin brilliant line
Because ben folds is such a music snob, i find it quite hilarious that he couldnt get the phrase 'could care less' correct. its COULD NOT care less. smooth
I played the shit out of this album back in the day!
Jacksfilms vibes
well done man
Bodied..😢😢😢😶😶💜💜🌏🌏☺☺☺🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is a very important song for anyone who knows someone like this.
I freakin love this album!!
A perfect song
At first I didn't really like this song, but it grew on me; it's now one of my favorite BF5 songs.
One of the best albums in my collection
That crunchy bass tho
Mr. Sledge MADE this band. But then, so did Mr. Jessee... And Mr. Folds. Just a great combo. :)
Greg Kinnear is a sick drummer
Makes me wanna learn to play bass
Yep!, sums up my life.
totally thought he said "everyday you wake up laid" when i was 14
College Television Network brought me here.
Great song.
I loved this at 12 and I still love it now.
i will detox
yes, i will do this
Wish he'd lay off that ride cymbal in the chorus.
Nice track though...
"...call and see if Paul can score some weed."
Why do I find that line utterly hilarious lol
The modern masterpeice of music.. Simply outstanding.....
Unearned unhappiness.... You're my hero, I confess.
💚💜💛💙
Deserves to be on a 90s Alternative Hits Compilation. Most underrated song by the band!
Only 699K views. Pretty f***ing pathetic for sheer genius like this is.
Thank you WEQX for playing this gem for my ride home tonight...ah windows open & screaming it out!!!!!!
This was the most original song on the radio when it was. I think everyone was looking to move on from guitar rock, and this came out of left field. At least for me, I like it more than Brick and it was one of the songs that led me to explore jazz more.
Yeah, I heard this one out of the blue on the radio when it was new and became an instant fan. :)
back when Ben knew he was an awesome pianist but had no idea that in 20 years time, he'd have grown ups in Norway and Japan worshiping him.
and in Sweden :)
Kate B. you are pretty great!!!!
Love you guys!
I also think rockford files is cool.
You never rest
Honer not happyness
Very talented band. Still sounds as original now as it did when it came out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9SfHMlwEAY&feature=share
As usual..delightfully disturbing..
i love darren's drumming technique
To my lovely, most awesome daughter, please let your bipolar pschitsofrentic dad know this. He needs this.
I can’t believe that I almost forgot about BF5. It’s amazing how many things that were so important just kind of fall out of our lives. Everything they’ve done is amazing imo.
I guess the late 90's were ok
Such a white boy. I totally get it.
every time someone says they're vegan
This is cringey
you're cringey, this song is great
Whadda tune ❤️
I had a friend named Paul who I used to score some weed from.
Love you boo pants!!!!!!!! freggin and yusssszsss God I need to care less haha fuck!
This reminds me so much of my freshman year of college
jesus, I love this song, this video, and this time of my life :)
why don't we pitch it to the Franklin fuckin' mint
Superb.. just pure art
so cute
jir asik bgt y
i love ben folds
Whatever and ever. Amen!
Such a underrated band.
Their best song.
fighting this battle currently
OMG, I just realized that so am I!!! :0 This song is sooo relatable! Love them.
Right on
Heard him on radio 2 tonight, the man is a genius.
god I miss the 90s
Ben Folds Five wrote a song about hipsters before writing songs about hipsters was popular. TOO META.
@msminmichigan Yeah, but they were hipsters before it was cool.
I liked this comment at first, but then the thread just got, like, too popular and I was just over it.
@Paul Mayer Ditto. 😆
You think pretentious jackasses didn't exist before hipsters? :P
listen to only a fool would say that by steely dan
Chapel Hill NC. They still trying to care less.
It is a crime that this doesn't have millions of views!
No, it isn't.
Yeah that’s true, and you can say that about pretty much every Ben Folds music, except cigarette that one isn’t good.
I didnt even know about him until I watched a Ted talk on something about music analytics. Someone did a speech on just how genius his piano skills really are.
Not a crime. Crime is how bad bunny has billions of views.
So glad that you don't get to decide what is a crime.
This song reminds me of the best time of my life. Ben folds has a unique and beautiful voice.
Absolutely
I know right😕Time has flew by✈Wow 1997 smh
You had it boys. Thas why YOURE RICH. NC BOYS...
am I the only one who loves this band but only the "upbeat and fun" songs. E.g. this or one angry dwarf and 200 solemn faces
Ben Folds and associates=universally acclaimed musicians.
Love this song your all dressed up like the cure
What a song
I love his sarcasm. " You're my hero, I confess ". Maybe the funniest serious songwriter I've ever heard.
+EuphoniaPooch that's why I love Ben. His songs are hilarious, yet they're serious
Yup. And Rockford Files rocks!
Brick, is amazing
Same here ...even though Brick is my favorite it is such a sad song, it's Abt abortion 😢😢😢
Personally, I think the Rockford Files was sub-par
Angel was classic.
To me its like an old standby, you can enjoy and watch without getting too invested, nothing too complicated, and know the problem always gets resolved in the end.
So you're saying there are some things about Rockford files you would change if it were up to you ?
Why on Earth has this song got so few views/likes?... :/
If you like this kind of thing go check out British band Gomez (Rhythm and Blues Alibi, Free To Run, etc et al) & be equally surprised that yet more excellent musicianship & lyrics is so appalling overlooked.
Now for some more Ben Folds Five...
Love this song!
Does anyone even notice how great the drums are on this one? Sure, piano, vocals and bass are also very perfect.
+Mor Bels Most definitely.
+Mor Bels Darren Jesse Baby...hes awesome His jazz abilities were needed to keep up with Bens Jazzy inflections....then Roberts bass is more Rock Punk Edgy tones that were sophisticated enough to maintain a Jazz feel all while they sang three part harmonies in a Pop world that had substance. I miss it...too much synthesized music out there today on the top 40 pop radio. Remember when 90s radio had cool bands like Oasis Silver Chair Ben Folds Real Big Fish haha all sorts of cool Rock and pop. I miss it. I was only 10 years old but I remember the 90s fondly .
I've got this on my car playlist and I don't think it's ever came on and me not tapping along with that sweet swing.
This is one of my favorite songs love the band
I had buddy named Paul he always scored the best weed
The amazing thing about this video is that there was no green screening, it's all camera angle trickery and rear projection screen.
Reminds me of first kicking about with my now wife! :D
Odd thing is Paul still has weed. ;)
I feel like my folks in the 80's/90's. Music sucks now I miss the 90's too.
#Facts 🙌🏽
How do we pitch it to the Franklin Mint? Fine Pewter portraits of General Apathy and Major Boredom singing Whatever and Ever, Amen.. Great ETSY idea.
+rssell Gee it's been 20 years and I didn't even get this before i saw it now in writing. Cheers.
