This is basically a song about how we can all get pissed off with our lives (from couch potato t petty tyrant) and really would like our lives to be just a little easier and a bit nicer. I'd just learned a new open E chord from Andy and by playing it in various positions and shapes, came up with the music very quickly and the lyrics even quicker.

Someone outside's got a gun in their hand,
Expressing some views which you don't understand
But anyway - what does it matter to you?
You're tucked up nice all cosy and warm
Doors locked tight against the raging storm
But anyway - what does it matter to you?

No voice in your head to keep driving you mad
Don't you know that it says - Oh yeah yeah
If my life - could be oh so fine

Sometimes feels that I'm slightly deranged
Revolutions in my heart but it won't take the strain
But anyway - what does it matter to you?
You live a simple life compared to mine
Doing 9 till 5 my body's doing overtime
But anyway - what does it matter to you?

Got a voice in your head is it driving you mad
You don't know that it says - Oh yeah yeah
If my life - could be oh so fine

I've got inspirations, aspirations
Want the world at my feet, be the leader of nations
But anyway - what does it matter to you?
Settle down chilled in front of your TV
Put your feet up friend you make it look so easy
But anyway - what does it matter to you?

Got a buzz in your head is it driving you mad
Don't you know that it says - oh yeah yeah
If my life - could just be - oh so fine
