So Close... and yet so What? by The Ditty Committee Lyrics

The world was mine
And I had some time to waste
So I crawled of the slime
And evolved into an ape
And then in the relative blink of an eye
I irrevocably altered the landscape

So close to the truth (so close)
So close to the top (so close)
So close and yet...
So close and yet...
So what?

The world was mine
And I had some time to kill
So I loaded my shotgun
And I fired at will
But no matter how many people I shot
The stronger the resistance got

So close to the goal (so close)
So close to the cut (so close)
So close and yet...
So close and yet...
So what?
So what if it rains?
So what if it snows?
Why are we here?
Nobody knows
And if they tell you that they do know, they're an asshole

The world was mine
And I had some time to spend
So I bought a gold-plated car
And a four-wheel-drive fountain pen
And now I'd trade everything that's mine
For just a little extra time

So close to the truth (so close)
So close to the top (so close)
So close and yet...
So close and yet...
So what?
