Crass - So What [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

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
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
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
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 they're going to 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 we 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 (surgeons) 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 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
