Crass

The Feeding Of The 5000

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

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

Don't see him trying to stop the slaughter

Say I wouldn't have to live from bins

If I would go along, confess my sins

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

Get to see what a con he is

Because it's my life, mine not his

Well, they say they're going to send me away

Say they're gonna make me pay

We're sorry but you've gotta go

Cos 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, human being



NO YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE A PART OF THE MACHINE



You're a part of our machine, because we want you to be

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

Make you obey our every whim

We've got the power, Power and the glory

Heard that before in a different story

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 under the lamps

Don't say the ovens are still warm

Don't say this wretched little form 

Is a human being who wants to live

But not in the snot and shit they give



Say that I better keep quiet

Or they're gonna douse my light

Jesus Christ can save my life

But I can always use the knife



So what, so what, so what, so what, 

So what, so what, so what, SO WHAT
