Talking Heads - No Compassion lyrics

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 virtuebut 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 droppingmy interest level is dropping

I've heard all I want toI don't want to hear any more

What are youin 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 analystisn't that what they're paid for

You walkyou talk...you still function like you used to

It's not a question...of your personality or style

Be a little more selfishit 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 problemsthey overwhelm my mind

They say compassion is a virtuebut I don't have the time

(here we go again)
