No Compassion - Talking Heads

In a world where people have problems

In this world where decisions are a way of life

Other people’s problems, they overwhelm my mind

They say compassion is a virtue, but I don’t have the time

So many people have their problems

I’m not interested in their problems

I guess I’ve experienced some problems

But now I’ve made some decisions and

It takes a lot of time to push away the nonsense

Take my compassion, push it as far as it goes

My interest level’s dropping, my interest level is dropping

I’ve heard all I want to and I don’t want to hear any more

What are you, in love with your problems?

I think you take it a little too far

It’s not so cool to have so many problems

But don’t expect me to explain your indecisions

Go talk to your analyst, isn’t that what they’re paid for?

You walk, you talk, you still function like you used to

It’s not a question of your personality or style

Be a little more selfish, it might do you some good

In a world where people have problems

In this world where decisions are a way of life

Other people’s problems, they overwhelm my mind

They say compassion is a virtue, but I don’t have the time

Here we go again
