It Doesn't Matter To Me (John Schumann & Michael Atkinson) I'm in the RSL, I joined the Lions club Friday My support of sport is thought of highly I'm a Class 6 clerk in the PCD And who the hell is Ayatollah Khomeni? It doesn't matter to me It doesn't matter to me I'll sit home and watch you all on my colour TV Well I never look further than my own back door Except when wrapped up in my Commodore I was reading Nostradamus or 1984 I ran out of Valium and then I got bored It doesn't matter to me It doesn't matter to me I'll sit home and watch you all on my colour TV Well I prune in June and I plant in October And I write to the council when a sign gets knocked over I always say the Channel 10 news is best Especially when the weather girl wears a low cut dress It doesn't matter to me It doesn't matter to me I'll sit home and watch you all on my colour TV Well, my wife ran off to a Women's Shelter She didn't understand me or why I had to belt her My daughter carries candles for the festival of light The fridge is full of beer and I'm all right It doesn't matter to me It doesn't matter to me I'll sit home and watch you all on my colour TV My son's gone off to the Eastern war And Killen wrote a letter explaining what for It's the very first job the boy's ever held He'll learn a good trade while he sees the world It doesn't matter to me It doesn't matter to me I'll sit home and watch you all on my colour TV I'm watching colour TV Thanking god it's not me OPEC, Exxon and ITT Presenting World War Three |
