- This song goes out to the 3,000,000 kids bullied every year in the USA. It's a middle finger to the bullies who judge and it's a shot in the arm to the victims. If you're heading back to school this month, or if you're out of school and still struggling in any way, trying to fit in, I want you to know that you don't have to fit in. You can walk your own beautiful path and hold your head up high. There are lots of people who can relate with you. SERIOUSLY. There are people who love you. SERIOUSLY. Even if you haven't found the lovers yet, they are out there and it's worth holding on and waiting for them to arrive. They will arrive. In the meantime, let rock 'n' roll fill the void like it did for me. Harm none. Fuck the haters! xoxo BK August, 2019

CARELESSS LYRICS
I’m the girl in zebra tights dressed in black
I know who I am so get the fuck off of my back
The kids at school just think I’m just a sheep inside
Herein lies the great divide I’d eye I
I don't care If you don't understand me, no
I don’t care if you don’t understand me, no
I don’t care if you don’t
Liftin’ larger boxes breakin’ brittle bones
I gotta lotta reasons that I live it alone
The crooked path calls me back more than the straight
Guess yer gonna have to wait ate hate hey
I don't care If you don't understand me, no
I don’t care if you don’t understand me
Can we put it off ‘til later? No!
All the cool kids hate it so
Everything I do is strange
I’m a Manic Panic pistol patch
Supersonic urn of ash
I aint ever gonna change
I don't care if you don't
More than sixty seven ways to skin a squirrel
Zero ways to figure out a fiery girl
All I do is hold my haughty head up high
I don’t even need you to cry or die eye I
I don't care If you don't understand me, no
I don’t care if you don’t understand me
Can we put it off ‘til later? No!
All the cool kids hate it so
Everything I do is strange
I’m a Manic Panic pistol patch
Supersonic urn of ash
I aint ever gonna change
I don't care If you don't understand me, no
I don’t care if you don’t understand me, no
I don't care If you don't under
Stand me! Stand me!
Hey hey!
Hey hey! Oh!
Stand me! Stand me!
Hey hey!
Hey hey! Oh!

Ben Kweller is sooo BADASS!!! I was talking to Ryan Adams after his concert with The Cardinals 2 weeks ago! He's my other favorite artist! Anyway, I told him that Ben Kweller was the only other ABSOLUTELY BAD TO THE BONE ARTIST OUT THERE!!! 🤔😂. And Ryan thought about it for a second and whole heatedly agreed with my assessment!!!! Ben and Ryan on tour together!!!!! My dream show!!!!!
Ben Kweller, all grown up and still making music for the emo kid in all of us
