It doesn't matter
It doesn't matter at all
You keep asking me
How did I get here?
What does it matter?
Is this a test?
Is there a camera somewhere?
"Tell 'em what he's won, Bob"
All you saw was the sign
But did you stop to read?
Everybody needs a little help
Sometimes please
I had a life before
Had a life before this
You think I chose this?
You must be crazy
Why do I matter?
Is this my test?
Is there a saviour somewhere?
"Tell him what he's won, God"
All you saw was the sign
But did you stop to read?
Everybody needs a little help
Sometimes please
Before you go, then
Before you go on your way
Can I ask you something?
Answer me please
Do you get it now?
This is your test
Is there a feeling somewhere?
Tell me, did you win, yeah?
All you saw was the sign
But did you stop to read?
Everybody needs a little help
Sometimes please
