John Cale
So What
[Verse 1]
Less than a day when the speed of decision
Was taken while we waited outside
For savage ineptitude motionless spectacle
Into the glass of time

[Chorus]
So what do we learn from that?
What do we learn from that?
What do we learn from that?
The world goes 'round

[Verse 2]
What was replacing the fractured event
In the landscape of nobody left?
One day you said you will return
Safer by far than the fools at the bar

[Chorus]
So what do we learn from that? (What do we learn from that?)
What do we learn from that? (What do we learn from that?)
What do we learn from that? (What do we learn from that?)
The world goes 'round

[Verse 3]
Inside the demand for a luxury hand
Lurks the context of misery's trend
How in the world can the trouble be found
When the movement's too fast for that? We're slow
[Chorus]
What do we learn from that? (What do we learn from that?)
That's what we learn from that (What do we learn from that?)
You know if we learn from that (What do we learn from that?)
That's what we learn from that

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 4]
A facet to be, a facet to do
A shattered inevitable greed
You're walking on locusts, you like to do that
I can hear it when you talk

[Chorus]
What do we learn from that? (What do we learn from that?)
Taking everything back from that (Taking everything back from that)
So what do we learn from that? (What do we learn?)
What do we learn from that? (What do we learn from that?)

[Bridge]
The context decides if we live or we die
It comes to me when I'm alone
Your voice keeps me quiet until then
You should know by now
[Outro]
If we ever learn from that
Do we ever learn from that?
You know what we learn from that
You know what we learn from that
You know what we learn from that
You know what we learn from that
You know what we learn from that
