So fucking what!

Well, I've been to Hastings and I've been to Brighton

Well, who cares, who cares what you do
Yeah, who cares, who cares about you, you, you, you, you

Well, I've fucked the queen, I've fucked Bach

And I've fucked a sheep, I've fucked a goat
I rammed my cock right down its throat

So what, so what, you boring little f*ck

Well, who cares, who cares what you do
And, who cares, who cares about you, you, you, you, you

And I've drunk that, I've drunk this
I've spewed up on a pint of piss

I've had scank, I've had speed
I've jacked up until I bleed
So what, so what

So what, so what, you boring little f*ck

Well, who cares, who cares what you do
And, who cares, who cares about you, you, you, you, you, you

So fucking what!
