After releasing six studio albums, including best-selling records The Real Thing (1989) and Angel Dust (1992), Faith No More officially announced its breakup on April 20, 1998. The band has since reunited, conducting The Second Coming Tour between 2009 and 2010, and releasing its seventh studio album, Sol Invictus, in May 2015. After the touring cycle of Sol Invictus, Faith No More went on hiatus once again. In November 2019, the band announced that it would reunite to embark on a 2020 UK and European tour, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this was postponed. Touring was due to recommence with a brief US tour in September 2021, followed by the previously postponed UK and Europe dates in June 2022, but all tour dates were cancelled with Patton citing mental health reasons.

Faith No More Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We care a lot
We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
We care a lot about the NASA shuttle falling in the sea
We care a lot about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
We care a lot about disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah
We care a lot
We care a lot about the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
We care a lot about the people who live on the street
We care a lot about the welfare of all the boys and girls
We care a lot about you people 'cause we're out to save the world, yeah
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Its a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
Oh, it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
We care a lot about the army, navy, air force and marines
We care a lot about the NY, SF and LAPD
We care a lot about you people
We care a lot about your guns
We care a lot about the wars you're fighting gee that looks like fun
We care a lot about the cabbage patch, the smurfs, and DMC
We care a lot about Madonna and we cop for Mr.T
We care a lot about the little things, the bigger things we top
We care a lot about you people yeah you bet we care a lot, yeah

The lyrics to "We Care A Lot" by Faith No More are a mix of social commentary and sarcasm. The song highlights the media's obsession with disasters, military and political figures, pop culture and other sensationalized news stories. The opening lines, "We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods, and killer bees," immediately signals the irony in the song that exposes society's preoccupation with the trivial while ignoring real-world problems. The song's message is that the band members see themselves as a mouthpiece for the voiceless and forgotten: "We care a lot about the people who live on the streets. We care a lot about the welfare of all the boys and girls."
Throughout the song, Faith No More aims to encourage their audience to take on social responsibility themselves. As they sing, "We care a lot about you people because we're out to save the world," they suggest that everyone should try to effect change in their everyday lives. They urge their followers to recognize not only the small stuff but also the bigger issues: "We care a lot about the little things, the bigger things we top." The overall tone of the song is a mix of idealism, cynicism, and sarcasm, as the band draws attention to how absurd and selfish society's values can be. In essence, this song is a challenge to the audience to care more about the world around them and to think differently.
