So What |
|
Oh I was born and raised in Alabam |
|
well it sounds better than Leeds |
|
mama said the sooner you grow up |
|
the sooner you can leave |
|
and thus I came into existence |
|
what else can I tell you |
|
I could reminisce about the kiss |
|
that really blew my mind |
|
I could demonstrate how when I was eight |
|
I celebrated nine |
|
I could be young I might be old |
|
I could be and if so |
|
So what |
|
Got my finger on the trigger |
|
whatever that's supposed to mean |
|
got my thumb caught in between the door |
|
after which I screamed |
|
it only hurts now when I suck it |
|
what else can I tell you |
|
Well its very sad to think you had |
|
more money than good sense |
|
now you've lost it all your back to call |
|
on me you're oldest friend |
|
I'm not a man who minces words |
|
and if that sounds absurd |
|
So what |
|
Even if it's likely to become the flavour of the year |
|
demonstrating for the right to work is work that is sincere |
|
there ain't no pride in being idle |
|
what else can I tell you |
|
well I've been described as looking like a nothing of a man |
|
had my work reviewed by critics who dismiss me out of hand |
|
they say I'm middle of the road I say if that is so |
|
So what |
