Nothing Really Matters lyrics

When you see a face in the crowd With a look of obsession There's no subtle way to say There's plenty of defense and discretion Living with what's left All the gifts But 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, alert-test It's so hard, alert-test It's like nothing really matters It's like nothing really matters It's like nothing really matters to them If you could turn it around If you could see it a different way If you could turn it on its knee and bend it down It wouldn't really matter But outside, alert-test Alert-test
