So What
(专辑: The Feeding Of The 5000 - 1978)
They ask me why I'm hateful, why I'm bad. They tell me I
got things they never had. They tell me go to church and see the
light. Cos the
good lord's always right. So what, so what. So what if Jesus died on the
cross. So what about the
fucker, I
don't give a
toss. So what if the
master walked on the
water. I
don't see him trying to stop the
slaughter. They say I
wouldn't have to live from bins. If I
would go along, confess my sins. They say I
shouldn't commit no crime. Cos Jesus Christ is watching all the
time. So what, so what. So what if he's always over my shoulder. I
realise the
truth as I
get older. I
get to see what a
con it is. Because it's my life, mine not his. Well, they say they're going to send me away. Said they're going to make me pay. We're sorry but you got to go. But you were naughty, you said "No". So what, so what. So what if I
see through the
lies. So what if the
people I
despise Twist my arm and make me work, I'm no deaf, dumb fucking jerk. I'm no spastic lying in the
street. I'm no superstar elite. I'm just a
person, a
human being. No you're not, you're a
part of the
machine. You're a
part our machine because we want you to be. We've got you now and you'll never be free. We can even have your body after you're dead. We can take the
eyes out of your fucking head. Yes we'll take them out, use them again. We can do it you know cos we've got your brain. We'll crucify you like we crucified him. We'll make you obey our every whim. We got the
power, the
power and the
glory. I've heard that before in a
different story. But the
story I
heard covered up the
truth, Didn't touch on the
actual factual proof. Didn't say about the
bodies in the
concentration camps, Didn't say about the
knives underneath the
lamps, Doesn't say that the
ovens are still warm, Doesn't say that this wretched little form Is a
human being who wants to live But not in the
snot and shit they give. They say that I
had better keep quiet Or they're gonna douse my light. Jesus Christ can save my life, But I
can always use my knife. So what, so what, so what, so what, So what, so what, so what, so what.
