So What?, music by Miles Davis

I could craft you a cosmos
make a world with you in mind
It’ll be how you like it
plus two of every kind
I can fix your future
I can fix your fate
turn your trust into a goldmine
make you the head of every state
you ask me how I’ll do this
it’s an esoteric art
lend me some of your soul
I’ll teach you immortal parts
He said: so what/so white/so what
/so what
then he played
I’m a faithful functor
You know I am sincere
how could I be lying
you see me standing here
I can smite your foes
you get access to my crew
I can take stormy weather
and turn the sky kind of blue
I know the one who knows
where time is begotten
the all the everything
that never is forgotten
He said: so what/so white/so what
miles to go before I sleep
miles and miles
story unloads
starless darkroads
a word a voice
a scheme
a choice
broken moonlight
hear it in sight
accuse a test
music defense
