You Do

They say beauty is defined by them
They say they have answers
To the questions everyone asks

They tell you about coffee
And tea
Magnificent tea

And you want them so bad
But not at all 
At the same time

They don't care 
What you want

They don't care about you
Or your questions

And you think of your poor dad
Who is not poor at all
He don't drink coffee
And those limey bastards 
Used to stop the war to drink tea

But they don't care about your dad
Or limey bastards
Or war

You look in the mirror
You see what you see
Eyes that have seen too much
But not enough
A face worn
But still young
And you gird your strength
And grit your teeth
And you struggle

Because they don't have to care

But you do
