I'm gonna make a chicken gumbo
|
Toss some sausage in the pot
|
I'm gonna flavor it with okra
|
CAYENNE 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
|
|
Aint 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
|
Aint 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
|
|

So Beautiful Or So What
