Paul Simon - Live In New York City

So Beautiful Or So What - Live In New York / 2011

This song is called
This song is called "So beautiful or so what"

I'm gonna make a chicken gumbo
Toss some sausage in the pot
I'm gonna flavor it with okra
Cheyenne pepper to make it hot
I 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 yea, maybe not
I tell them life is what you make of it
So beautiful or so what?
So beautiful

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
I know life is what you make of it
So beautiful or so what?
And 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
Oh, like a pair of rolling dice
So beautiful

So beautiful

So beautiful, so what?

There were four men on the balcony
Overlooking the parking lot
Pointing at a figure in the distance
Dr. King has just been shot (I see...)

And the sirens long melody
Singing savior pass me not
And ain't it strange the way we're ignorant now
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
Oh, like a pair of rolling dice

So beautiful
So beautiful
So beautiful
So beautiful

So beautiful
