lyrics

**************************************
You can be a neurosurgeon and never leave your home.
You can vivisect living brains, just leave mine alone.
Take a correspondence course conducted on the phone...
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.

You can be anonymous and get lost in the crowd
Or make a scene an wear gold chains, saying nothing, talking loud.
You can be a Rasta, mon, with your head inside a cloud.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.

You can be an archaeologist and dig up ancient bones
Or study all the moss that grows on strolling Joans.
You can go to Mississippi and hear a black cat moan.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.

You can be contagious, spreading chicken pox.
You could start a fashion trend by sleeping in your socks
Or move into a greenhouse and do what you will with rocks.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.
I don't care what you do.

(1989 Nimyonta Music)
