C'EST WHAT
(Rick Davies)

Supertramp - 1997



Yes I've been waiting
Waiting patiently and waiting

Well if you ever feeling sorry
So sorry for yourself
And they tell you not to worry
Just leave your problems on the shelf

C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
That's what they tell you
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Day and night

You're on the inside looking outside
Wishing you were somewhere else
But you sit back with reservations
As you count up all your unearned wealth

C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Ah they're sayin' it again
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
You know it and I know it too

Well let me tell you a story
Like the ones I used to know
'Bout love and all its glory
Well I'm sorry but it just ain't so

It took a long time just to get even
If you know just what I mean
So let's call it even Steven
In the land of broken dreams

C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Ah they're at it again
C'est what? C'est what, oh well C'est what?
Every day and every night
I can't take it anymore

Gonna get it, don't sweat it
Don't apologize, it's all around you
Gonna get it, don't sweat it
Don't apologize, it's all around you

You may never be all that you wanna be
Deep down inside you, you know it will never be
No bed of roses or walk down the avenue
Culturally, socially, people walk over you
Get with the program and make with the attitude
Life is a dream if you face it my friend

Hey Hey
