No Compassion

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
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, 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)
