Plan tomorrow, money to borrow
Chorus:
DADE
I couldn't care less, care less
DADE
Couldn't care less, care less
DADE
I'm careless, careless
And that's the way I stay
Verse:
I never pay attention, watch my step
Never pay my bills, way in debt
Tell my about the fuckin' ordinance
Tell me that we're insubordinate

I couldn't care less, care less
Couldn't care less, care less
So careless, careless
Yeah that's the way I stay

Stay
Careless, careless...
Yeah careless is the way I'll stay
End on A.
