#33 To Care About Something

It's quite odd that we view not caring about something as cool

I don't know why, but I had this feeling all the way through school

That it was wrong to have any greater goal and mission

That the greatest sin was the pride of ambition



Cynicism is king, scepticism the jester

That the worst person is the one who invests their

Time trying to be an active go-getter

Making fun of anyone trying to get better



All of this, sort of builds into a general theme

That to care about something is entirely obscene

To try to strive in a new direction

Is tantamount to utmost insurrection



And now I regret not doing more

That I didn't have more things to try for

For now the most fascinating people I know

Are those who've been driven be something greater since the word go



Because it's only when you take a stand you can realize you're standing on faulty ground

It's only when you've tried your time many times you can realize what you've found

Only when you've tried and failed and tried and failed again

Only when you've defied all odds can you love your mission



So screw convention, and the idea you shouldn't have a passion

Let's have an intervention, because apathy shouldn't be the fashion

Let's all go out in different directions, please go and stop stalling

This is my open invitation, for you to finally find your calling
