Smoking Popes is an American punk band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1991. They play pop-influenced punk music with crooning vocals and romantic lyrics. The core of the group is composed of brothers Matt Caterer (b. 1968), Josh Caterer (b. 1972) and Eli Caterer (b. 1975).
The Caterer brothers were raised on rock 'n' roll and crooners like Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. In 1980 Matt got a guitar, Josh a bass guitar and Eli a drum set and they began to play together.

(Chorus 2, same as first) if you don't care, i don't care we don't belong together cause we don't belong anywhere
if you're not sure, i'm not sure what all these tears are falling for let's decide not to care anymore
(Verse 2, same as first) assuming a plaintive pose for reasons that neither knows but we're both convinced we'll make it out alright astoundingly still unclear we stab at a faceless fear as hand in hand we fall into the light
(Chorus 3, same as first) if you don't care, i don't care we don't belong together cause we don't belong anywhere
if you're not sure, i'm not sure what all these tears are falling for let's decide not to care anymore
