So What

Lyrics for So What

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 Cause' 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 Cause' 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 that God'll 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, no 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 they 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't 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?!
