Faith No More fanatics. Made by fans, to the fans. There are three versions of “We Care a Lot”, all of which have been officially released over three different albums. The original was recorded for and released on the band’s first studio album, We Care a Lot (1985). A re-recorded version, with new lyrics, was included on the album Introduce Yourself (1987) and was the lead single, reaching number 53 on the UK Singles Chart.

The live version, without original singer Chuck Mosley, was included on the live album and video Live at the Brixton Academy (1990) and was also released as a single in 1991. It was the second most frequently-played song during the band’s live performances, behind “Epic”. “We Care a Lot” featured different lyrics and ad-libs when performed by Mike Patton, much like performances of “Chinese Arithmetic”.
