So & So So & So from Wherever Wherever Lyrics

You're a fool for everything
I'm a fool for not thinking that things would turn out this way
Like to think that you're immune
To the stuff it's closer to the truth to say you're full of shit

You're gonna have to face it

So and so he has a job
Gets up at a certain time goes to a certain place
Takes a lot of pride in his work
It's not what he would choose to do just does it for the money and the opportunity

So and so so and so from wherever wherever
So and so so and so from wherever wherever
So and so so and so from wherever wherever
So and so so and so from wherever wherever

More or less a waste of flesh
You're so insecure you probably think this song's about you
Don't be so hard on yourself
There's plenty of flesh to go around
Besides it's not like you are not using it
And who is who to say what flesh should do and who should have it for that use

So and so so and so from wherever wherever
So and so so and so from wherever wherever
So and so so and so from wherever wherever
So and so so and so from wherever wherever

i think doug is trying to say that as long as you work at something you don't enjoy, simply to live in our society you are a nobody-- you're a waste of flesh

"but so don't be hard on yourself, there's plenty of flesh to go around" to me, this lyric says something like "it's alright that you're mediocre and unhappy, join the club"

I don't think he's saying that people who work at something they hate are "nobody." I think his true opinion of the matter is at the end of the lyrics when he says that no one has to do anything with their life or flesh because who says we do? But at the same time, we will have to face life and adapt to it sooner or later. It sucks, but we'd be dumb to think we can avoid it.

Obvious, but I think true, the repetition of the lyrics "So and So" are critising plurality and monotony of life.

Song Meaning

Actually, now that I think about it:

"so and so so and so from wherever wherever" could be meant...or actually I think IS speaking to the audience of everyone. whoever you are and wherever you are from, eventually, you must deal with the negative implications of life.

and as with a lot of his lyrics, he is suggesting life (even in our sense of the word, a productive one) can be seen as fruitless, mundane and out of our control.

the last two verses of the song present two stories.

the first is of someone who is...
