Nothing Really Matters

When I see your face in the crowd
 With a look of obsession
 There's no subtle way to say
 There's plenty of defense and discretion
 Even with what's left
 All the gifts put outside
 It's like nothing really matters
 How can other people's ways
 Be an estimate of your way of life?
 Can't the words, and birds, and trees, and Earth
 Be the same thing, and be just as right?
 It's hard, a learned test
 It's so hard, a learned test
 It's like nothing really matters
 It's like nothing really matters
 It's like nothing really matters to them
 The courage to turn it around
 If he could see the different way
 If he could turn it on its knee and bend it down
 It wouldn't really matter
 But outside, a learned test
 A learned test
