The Answer Is Still No

(film dialogue)

“What's your name?”

“FUCK YOU! THATS MY NAME!”

I couldn't understand why you left me standing here

Flickering out like a candle in the wind

The memories are laced with shame, there’s no intention

Of working out the problems that remain the same

Little children standing in the hall

Never taught them anything at all

And if you were young again, would you do it different?

Or make your way just trying to find the fiction in the fact of life?

Try to believe the words that you said to me are true

But something else assures me I'm not through

Been denied so many times, and so I'm told to

Sit back and ignore the truth, enjoy the ride

Never took a hand with her to school

Take a guess and tell us who's the fool

And you're not supposed to be my responsibility

One day you'll regain your pride and realize life is too short not to try

Does anybody care?

Does anybody?

Does anybody care?
