So What - Live

You say fifty marks
 I say one hundred marks
 A difference of fifty marks
 Why should that stand in our way?
 As long as the room gets let
 The fifty that I will get
 Is fifty more that I had yesterday
 When you're as old as I
 Is anyone as old as I?
 What difference does it make?
 An offer comes, you take
 For the sun will rise
 And the moon will set
 And learn how to settle
 For what you get
 It will all go on
 If we're here or not
 So who cares? so what?
 So who cares? so what?
 When I was a girl
 My summers were spent by the sea
 So what?
 And I had a maid
 Doing all of the house-work, not me
 So what?
 Now I scrub all the floors
 And I wash down the walls
 And I empty the chamber pot
 If it ended that way
 Then it ended that way
 And I shrug and I say
 So what?
 For the sun will rise
 And the moon will set
 And learn how to settle
 For what you get
 It will all go on
 If we're here or not
 So who cares? so what?
 So who cares? so what?
 When I had a man
 My figure was dumpy and fat
 So what?
 Through all of our years
 He was so disappointed in that
 So what?
 Now I have what he missed
 And my figure is trim
 But he lies in a churchyard plot
 If it wasn't to be
 That he ever would see
 The uncorseted me
 So what?
 For the sun will rise
 And the moon will set
 And learn how to settle
 For what you get
 It will all go on
 If we're here or not
 So who cares? so what?
 So who cares? so what?
 So once I was rich
 And now all my fortune is gone
 So what?
 And love disappeared
 And only the memory lives on
 And so what?
 If I've lived through all that
 (And I've lived through all that)
 Fifty marks doesn't mean a lot
 If I like that you're here
 (And I like that you're here)
 Happy New Year, my dear
 So what?
 For the sun will rise
 And the moon will set
 And learn how to settle
 For what you get
 It will all go on
 If we're here or not
 So who cares? so what?
 So who cares? so what?
 It all goes on
 So who cares? who cares?
 Who cares? so what?
