It Don't Really Matter

Down on Main street where the city fathers go
They welded all the man holes cause the truth was gonna blow
The billboard talks of paradise, it sounds just like a curse
And the money changes hands again, infections getting worse
They nailed me on the corner, said I had to take a loan
Now I’m looking for directions, a dog without a bone

It don’t really matter where the salmon learned to swim
When you’re on the plate it’s way too late, don’t take the bait like him

I got a brand new wide-screen high-definition TV
I wouldn’t want to miss a single episode of reality
I keep up with everything, I hope it don’t let me down
Gotta get the latest thing, love the sound of that ca-ching
Whatever it is I want it now, the one I got won’t do somehow
There’s a sale goin down the road, and they’re fighting there, cheek to jowl

It don’t really matter why the lion is so cruel
If the lamb lies down beside him, you know which one’s the fool

I went down to Wal-Mart where the Wally Martians are
She asked me what my name was did I have a super savings card Said I’m just payin’ cash for this here pack of cigarettes
She called her supervisor I was placed under arrest
They took me to the parking lot, said it wasn’t funny
I was charged with failing to fall in line, behind the economy

It don’t really matter how the Zebra got them stripes But tell me is he white on black or is he black on white

Attention wonder shoppers, we know you really can’t believe
It smells like tango butter, and it slides like axel grease
Don’t go home without it, you will never be the same
Genuine artificial imitation is the name of the game
They caught me down in hardware, tryin’ to find a screw
They gave me some toilet paper, it was the best that they could do

It don’t really matter why the monkey makes that face I think he’s really laughin’ cause he lost the human race
