Don't Care
Pain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Never done a hard days work in your whole life
Born with a silver spoon shoved down your throat

I don't care
I don't care, no...!
I don't care
I don't care about you...!
So you think you're better than me
No matter how much money you got
You still bleed

I don't care
I don't care, no...!
I don't care
I don't care about you...!
I don't care
I don't care, no...!
I don't care
I don't care about you...!

Not everything is for sale
Can't buy yourself happiness
Taste it, want it, need it, give me...

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Who's the richest motherfucker of them all?

I don't care
I don't care, no...!
I don't care
I don't care about you...!
I don't care
I don't care, no...!




I don't care
I don't care about you...!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pain's song "Don't Care" express a message of defiance towards the privileged who have never had to work hard for what they have. The song starts by calling out those who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, insinuating that they have never experienced the satisfaction of achieving something through hard work. The repeated chorus of "I don't care" is a testament to the singer's lack of respect or interest towards these individuals, as they feel that they are above those who have not had to work as hard in life.


The second verse of the song takes a more personal approach, challenging those who believe themselves to be better than the singer. The message is clear- no amount of money or privilege can make you a better person. The line "You still bleed" is a powerful reminder that underneath it all, we are all human and subject to the same physical pain and vulnerabilities. The bridge of the song speaks to the notion that not everything is for sale, that there are things in life that money cannot buy, including happiness. The closing line of "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the richest motherf****r of them all?" is a pointed criticism of society's fixation on wealth and status.


Overall, "Don't Care" is a message of resilience and empowerment, challenging the notion that those who have been handed everything on a silver platter deserve more admiration than those who have had to work for it. The song highlights the importance of values and character over wealth and power, and how personal strength and perseverance can make anyone the richest person in the world.
