So Beautiful Or So What Songtext / Lyric

I'm gonna make a chicken gumbo

Toss some sausage in the pot

I'm gonna flavor it with okra

Cheyenne pepper to make it hot

You know life is what we make of it

So beautiful or so what



I'm gonna tell my kids a bedtime story

A play without a plot

Will it have a happy ending?

Maybe yeah, maybe not

I tell them life is what you make of it

So beautiful or so what

So beautiful, so beautiful

So what






I'm just a raindrop in a bucket

A coin dropped in a slot

I am an empty house on Weed Street

Across the road from a vacant lot

You know life is what you make of it

So beautiful or so what



Ain't it strange the way we're ignorant

How we seek out bad advice

How we jigger it and figure it

Mistaking value for the price

And play a game with time and love

Like a pair of rolling dice

So beautiful, so beautiful

So what



Four men on the balcony

Overlooking the parking lot

Pointing at a figure in the distance

Dr. King has just been shot

And the sirens long melody

Singing savior pass me not



Ain't it strange the way we're ignorant

How we seek out bad advice

How we jigger it and figure it

Mistaking value for the price

And play a game with time and love

Like a pair of rolling dice

So beautiful, so beautiful

So what
