lyrics

my grandads here. he's married again,
wants me to meet his new wife,
but i leave before they get back --
he's been married i don't know how many times
and if i don't meet this one, then i'm sure he'll be alright.

my grandads here. he's wasted again.
says he wants to leave his new wife,
says he wants to have a new life
cuz he's not having a good time,
but come on grandpa, i mean,
let's be realistic -- what if you end up alone?
he says "i've been around kid. i know what i'm headed for"

it just doesn't matter
no it doesn't matter
and it doesnt matter that it doesnt matter

it doesn't matter
that it doesn't matter
