So What — текст песни (Gilbert O`sullivan)

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
