"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. [You know life is what you make of it So beautiful or so what]."
-Paul Simon, "So Beautiful or So What" (abridged and collaged slightly by me).
