Folks,
This is one I've had for a couple years. I pulled it out tonight and made a few changes. I'd like your thoughts on this one. (If you want to read the original lyrics, I'll send them via PM or email... as a point of reference) I'll leave the reference to Three Sheets to your imagination!
Anyway, here are the re-written lyrics and tonights recording.

Anyway,
Nobody Cares Anymore (Formerly - Summer Weeds)
Chapman Jones - ASCAP 07062006
Verse 1
I spend my summer days thinking
Wondering if the ship I'm on is sinking
I'll never know 'til the water
Splashes on my knees
I'll have to take off my boots
and put on my ski's
Chorus
Is the world as crazy as they say it is
Roundy round a whirly-gig, spinning in the wind
Nobody seems to care about nobody anywhere
They only want to take
And never want to share
Verse 2
Well, the times have changed since John Kennedy
No more cold war, no more world of sympathy
We're terrorized by empty eyes
That never seem to blink
And agonise over empty lies
Someone thought to think
Chorus
Is the world as crazy as they say it is
Roundy round a whirly-gig, spinning in the wind
Nobody seems to care about nobody anywhere
They only want to take
And never want to share
Verse 3
A young girl wrapped a package over yonder
Clickety crashing rolling springtime thunder
Strapped it to her chest
They say that she was blessed
Blew up a dozen people
For the sake of the rest
Chorus
Is the world as crazy as they say it is
Roundy round a whirly-gig, spinning in the wind
Nobody seems to care about nobody anywhere
They only want to take
And never want to share
**
As always, thanks for getting this far.
