If karma's meant to get you back
for all the mistakes you've had
And if comedians are there to make you laugh
If Woolworths is a grocery store
And the radio tells you the score
And rehab helps out psychopaths
And if a long amount of time
Gets a man out of a life of crime
and if maccas just makes you fatter
If everything has its purpose in the world
then what do I matter?

There's no point trying to argue with myself
Coz I know I'll end up calling it quits
People say everyone has a purpose
but I'm not sure if I fully know what mine is

If I was to die suddenly
the world wouldn't even know anything
I wouldn't have made a scratch
coz the ones who go down in history
are the ones who've done amazing things
And I don't think that I'd be capable of that
If its all about
being famous without
falling off the social ladder
then I'm left still wondering
what do I matter?

Not everybody on this earth
Can be big and famous at birth
If only it were that way
But those pop stars need followers
Who play their music to their grand daughters
Coz they appreciate what the song is tryna say
One of these days I'll write a song
And the crowd will be able to sing along
I'll be the gossip and the chatter
But there's no point, coz in a few years
What will I matter?

There's no point trying to argue with myself
Coz I know I'll end up calling it quits
People say everyone has a purpose
but I'm not sure if I fully know what mine is

If I was to die suddenly
the world wouldn't even know anything
I wouldn't have made a scratch
coz the ones who go down in history
are the ones who've done amazing things
And I don't think that I'd be capable of that
If it's all about
being famous without
falling off the social ladder
then I'm left still wondering
What do I matter?

Its been good life for me
Branched out started a family
I even bought a new house
Oh but that was 30 years ago
And the only reason that we moved
was because of that stupid mouse
If I had my time again
I would've done something crazy like
Become a professional rapper
Because there's one question that bothers me
What did I matter?

If I was to die suddenly
the world wouldn't even know anything
I wouldn't have made a scratch
coz the ones who go down in history
are the ones who've done amazing things
And I don't think that I'd be capable of that
If it's all about
being famous without
falling off the social ladder
then I'm left still wondering
What did I matter?
