This is a song I wrote last April. It’s about a very self-centered person. We probably all know someone like that.
Only One Thing by Willy Grigg 4/13/20
There’s only [F] one thing he cares about, it isn’t war and [C7] peace
There’s only one thing he cares about, it’s not famine or dis[F]ease
The whole wide world can go to heck from sea to shining [Bb]sea
There’s only one thing he [F] cares about and [C7] it’s not you and [F] me
There’s only one thing he cares about, just listen to him speak
There’s only one thing he cares about, he’s never shy or meek
There’s only one person he’s working for
It isn’t hard to see
There’s only one thing he cares about and it’s not you and me
He’s a [Bb] simple man with a [F] simple plan,
He [C] isn’t hard to [F] understand
He’s [Bb] spent his life in service to one [Dm] thing a[C]lone
He might say some things to make you cheer
And make you get upset
The fact that you’re reacting,
Means you haven’t caught on yet
He doesn’t mean the things he says
He’s empty as can be
There’s only one thing he cares about and it’s not you and me
Nice and apropos!
