So What Lyrics - Christ The Album - Crass

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
