Everybody cares, everybody understands
Yes everybody cares about you
Yeah, and whether or not you want them to
It's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
To a pure synthetic sympathy that infuriates you totally
And a quiet lie that makes you want to scream and shout
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
For a moment's rest you can lean against the banister
After running upstairs again and again
From wherever they came to fix you in, but
Always fair city's finest follow right behind
You've got a pretty vision in your head
A pencil full of poison lead
And a sickened smile illegal in every town
So here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
Here I lay dreaming, looking at the brilliant sun
Raining its guiding light upon everyone
You say you mean well, you don't know what you mean
Fucking oughta stay the hell away from things you know nothing about

Review about Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands song review | Reviewer: Scott | 7/25/2007
This song hits a deep chord in me...would have fit well on "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts club Band", sort of a continuation in more modern and loosely constructed lyrics--for instance, it would have been a hard sell for "You say you mean well, you don't know what you mean
Fucking oughta stay the hell away from things you know nothing about" in 1967...
I always thought he had a bit Beatleslike voice too, but my point is not how much like them he is, or this song is...just some similarities. It works exceptionally well here, with the surrounding songs on the album, it shoots straight to your heart, unless you're the kind of soulless person he seemed to loathe...but then you aren't, or you wouldn't be reading this here.
Anyway, something from this album will reach out and grab at you; the song is great. His loss is as tragic as Lennon's.
