I Don't Know by Davis/Voelker Lyrics
© Copyright Rattlesnake Valley Publishing

Don't talk to me bout any plants closing down
Or living paycheck to paycheck-
Two weeks away from nowhere to go
They've got boots and straps to pull themselves up
Hard work is all it takes

Don't lecture me 'bout any closed up hospitals
Or the sick wandering the streets
No one to take care of them
There are prisons and the like; Let them sleep there-
It's the price they pay

I don't know any homeless,
I don't know any homeless,
No, I don't know any homeless,
But I know all about them

Don't cry to me 'bout any of their addictions
Or being lost in a hazy world
Created by personal weakness
It's a simple matter of self-control no one makes them do those things
They just have to say no

Don't talk to me any bout how fortunate I am-
I've worked hard for everything I have
I take care of me and mine
I don't have time for anyone else; No compassion and no caring
I've gotta life of my own

This is outstandingly good. I very much like the way it combines a lyrical sound with unsentimental, ironic words. It's beautifully performed and deserves the widest possible audience. Superb - many thanks for sharing.

Best wishes,
