Cat Power - Nothing Really Matters

When I see your face in the crowd

With a look of obsession

There's no subtle way to say

There's plenty of defense and discretion

Even with what's left

All the gifts put outside

It's like nothing really matters

How can other people's ways

Be an estimate of your way of life?

Can't the words, and birds, and trees, and Earth

Be the same thing, and be just as right?

It's hard, a learned test

It's so hard, a learned test

It's like nothing really matters

It's like nothing really matters

It's like nothing really matters to them

The courage to turn it around

If he could see the different way

If he could turn it on its knee and bend it down

It wouldn't really matter

But outside, a learned test

A learned test
