One day I caught myself. I had trained myself to walk past the hungry, the homeless, the insane, the "least of these," and not even notice. It was out of shame that I wrote this.
I don't wanna know What's wrong with you And I don't wanna know All the bad things that you're goin' through You walk barefoot in the snow I used to walk ten miles to school I've got problems of my own So don't worry about me, I won't worry about you
(Chorus) Every time I see you hurting Every cry I hear Will toughen up my heart, and someday you will disappear 'Cause I don't wanna know No I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know 'Bout your starving little babies And I don't wanna know Clean up your act and someday maybe You'll stand on your own Get a job and stop complaining Please leave me alone Well get inside you foolish baby
(Chorus) Every time I see you hurting Every cry I hear Will toughen up my heart, and someday you will disappear 'Cause I don't wanna know No I don't wanna know
