    I have always loved this song. I just came here to listen to it again. But then I realized how brilliantly this video is done! Bob starts of well shaved, well groomed, properly dressed with a relaxed facial expression. But the further he gets into the song the more careless, carefree, dissheveled he becomes, more passionate, bordering to crazy even. Genious! It's the little things: a look here, a raised eyebrow there, a shrugging shoulder, the laughing of the man on the left with the huge gap between his teeth, the timing of the dancers... Magnificent! I keep watching the video over and over again and not just for the song/the singing/the music itself, but the whole video is a masterpiece!

      The video further clarifies the point of the song - disappointed about stolen donations (Live Aid) trying to convince himself that he doesn't care... really great song ❤

      I remember him talking with an interview about it. They were trying to come up with a simple defining visual hook like Bob Dylan’s placards in “Subterranean Homesick Blues” but didn’t want to just use that outright. Someone pointed out his reputation for being a bit of “a scruffy git” and the idea grew out of that.

    I am German and bow to Bob Geldof, Sinéad O'Conner, the Pogues and all other Irish musicians.
    Especially the Dubliners, who have been with me all my life and gave me an escape to German folk music.
    I listened to this song to infinity and back when it first came out.
    Thank you, Mr. Geldorf!

    To me, this song is a very humane expression of freedom, going in the direction of "nothing left to lose" however not far from a kind of insanity. It has accompanied me in my last 30 years of life and it always brought me courage and energy in my darkest moments. Thank you, Bob Geldof!

    LYRICS
    I don't mind if you go
    I don't mind if you take it slow
    I don't mind if you say yes or no
    I don't mind at all
    I don't care if you live or die
    Couldn't care less if you laugh or cry
    I don't mind if you crash or fly
    I don't mind at all
    I don't mind if you come or go
    I don't mind if you say no
    Couldn't care less baby let it flow
    'Cause I don't care at all
    I don't care if you sink or swim
    Lock me out or let me in
    Where I'm going or where I've been
    I don't mind at all
    I don't mind if the government falls
    Implements more futile laws
    I don't care if the nation stalls
    And I don't care at all
    I don't care if they tear down trees
    I don't feel the hotter breeze
    Sink in dust in dying sees
    And I don't care at all
    I don't mind if culture crumbles
    I don't mind if religion stumbles
    I can't hear the speakers mumble
    And I don't mind at all
    I don't care if the Third World fries
    It's hotter there I'm not surprised
    Baby I can watch whole nations die
    And I don't care at all
    I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
    And I don't mind, I don't mind
    And I don't mind at all
    I don't mind about people's fears
    Authority no longer hears
    Send a social engineer
    And I don't mind at all, o!
    I don't mind at all, let's go!
    I don't mind at all
