Nothing Bad Ever Happens Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Why should I care? 

A man broke into my neighborhood 

He threatened the family with a loaded gun 

He tied them all up and beat 'em real good 

He took everything and he got away clean 

And I can't believe that anyone would 

Wanna do such a terrible thing 

But why should I care?

The lyrics sarcastically comment on people who haven't got a care in the world for anyone or anything happening that doesn't directly have to do with them in… See all 

Did you hear about Fred, he's unemployed 

They threw him away like a useless toy 

He went down the drain after 20 long years 

No warning, no pension and nobody's tears 

And I can't believe that anyone would 

Wanna do such a terrible thing 

But why should I care? Why should I care? 

Every time I look around this place 

I see them scream but I hear no sound 

And the terrible things happen down the road 

To somebody else that I don't even know 

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Why should I care? 

Why should I care? 

Why should I care? 

Every time I look around this place 

I see them scream but I hear no sound 

And the terrible things happen down the road 

To somebody else that I don't even know 

Have you heard about the Joneses, my, my, my 

It happened so quick and no one knows why 

Their teenage son, he seemed okay 

But his suicide ruined everyone's day 

And I can't believe that anyone would 

Wanna do such a terrible thing 

But why should I care? 

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Why should I care? 

Nothing bad ever happens to me 

Why should I care? 

(Nothing bad ever happens to me) 

Why should I care? 

(Nothing bad ever happens to me) 

Why should I care?
