Siffre, Labi - So What! Lyrics






So what you don't believe in make believe
So what you don't believe in life
But you don't want to leave

I'm here and I'm all alone
You're there but you're so tall you just can't see me

You wanna be good
You wanna be right
You wanna be so nice

You wanna have fun
And be number one
You wanna be alright

But what about me
Or somebody like me?
It's gonna be so hard

It isn't enough to say that it's life
You gotta be part
What you gonna do?

So what you don't believe in time of day
So what this is more than just a while away

So what if it hurts well that's understood
So what if it's roses all the way
Well it's just no good

You wanna be good
You wanna be right
You wanna be so nice

You wanna have fun
And be number one
You wanna be alright

But what about me
Or somebody like me?
It's gonna be so hard

It isn't enough to say that it's life
You gotta be part

We know that you don't mean no harm
But can you see that you're doing it wrong?
It's so easy to say it won't change
But believe me
You've got to believe
Believe me
You've got to believe

Another day in London Town
A lonely man decides
To end his life in London Town
No one to say goodbye
Why worry at all?
Why worry we're all about to fall

Before you're born
Nobody asks you
Nobody asks you
Do you want to be born?
That's the way it goes
Just gotta learn how to land on your toes

The moment you're born
Somebody hits you
Somebody shows you what it's all about
First you have to cry
When you find love you'll learn the reason why

What's your name to the right for love
What's your name to the left for love
What's your name straight ahead for love
What's your name turn around for love
Forget your name it's alright to love
We're glad you came we all need your love

So what you don't believe in make believe
So what you don't believe in life
But you just can't leave

You wanna be good
You wanna be right
You wanna be so nice

You wanna have fun
And be number one
You wanna be alright

But what about me
Or somebody like me?
It's gonna be so hard

It isn't enough to say that it's life
You gotta be part

We know that you don't mean no harm
But can you see that you're doing it wrong?
It's so easy to say it won't change
But believe me
You've got to believe
Got to believe

    I don't think the world has given Mr Siffre enough credit for this song.I am comforted that he is hopefully living of the royalties from the many cover versions. Such an emotional and strongly political message against colonial apartheid at a time when we desperately needed this sort of solidarity. Thanks Mr Siffre for playing an important part when it counted.

  85. D.... H....

    2019 still problems egged on my a corrupt president trump and afew others around the globe who have his nasty view who follow in such wickedness smh i cant wait till the world uniteda against such hate, such a powerful tune showed to me by my brother r.i.p omar ohmad:( ♡1love always x

  86. S.... N....

    This song has a very deep and rich message. Cant get enough of it!!!

  87. A.... ....

    “We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.” ― Nelson Mandela


    Free Palestine from Zionist Apartheid.

  88. T.... G....

    My good friend Betty Gains { Smith} LOVed this song and it still stands as a anthem for the magnificent work She did to bring about world peace, justice, freedom and decency for us all. Betty was a Proud Lesbian and the Mother of two sons. A great friend and a woman who loves humanity eve though She is with GOD. Almighty GOD, Tracy Gibson

  89. S.... ....
