MY FATHER DOES NOT CARE. I’ve been doing this in the middle of my set for the whole Good Parts Tour. At the end of the night one of the most asked questions has been where people can get it so I went and shot it. So fun diving into a new art form. More poetry to come. Share with your dad or someone it makes you think of.
My father does not care.
In the same way my wife’s eyes glaze over on NFL Game Day
He does not care
Like talking stocks with 6 year old children
It’s not that they don’t wanna listen
It’s that they don’t care
Like a butcher at a vegan farmer’s market
A sober man at an Irish bar
Like me at your escape room birthday party
He does not care
I called my dad when I got my first record deal
And I was very excited
Lots of emotions and feelings
I said, “Dad, I made it and the check is pretty big”
I said, “Dad, you’re gonna have a very successful kid”
I said, “I’m gonna buy a house,
I’m gonna by you one too
With a gate and the clickers and the big open rooms”
I said, “dad don’t you worry,
This is just the beginning
The tables are tipping
We’re finally winning”
He responded like
Like my 85 year old grandma completely unamused
With an iPhone in her hand like
What does this even do?
Like an American at a cricket match - confused
He said, “Son that’s fantastic
I’m so happy for you”
You see my father does not care about anything but my heart
He knows that wealth and worth have always been super far apart
And when I showed him my BMW had the new push start
He faked enthusiasm terribly
Like, “yeah, great car”
My father’s eyes light up when I talk about my soul
He wants details of every kid I sang to at the hospital
We can talk for hours about anything I’ve ever done for the homeless
And when my prayer game is strong and I am centered, he notices
See the thing about sons, we just wanna make our dads proud
We know the songs they like and then we sing those extra loud
And I’m pretty clear about how to get my father’s attention now
Be of service to myself or to others - that’s how
Now someday I might be massive with my face up in Times Square
When I fly, only fly private, lie flat through the air
Someday I might become a bajillion gazillionaire
The best part is -
My father does not care
