Lyrics: (unconfirmed)
Such a smile -----
Leave like a wine (whine ?)
But it don't matter to me

Take your time before I burn
But it don't matter to me

Let's pave the way----------
But it don't matter to me
I could fall (?)-----------------
But it don't matter to me
Cos' it's always the same
And I'm always the same

Uncle Sam they ----- bad man
It don't matter to me
I don't know where I am gonna go
But it don't matter to me

You agree to spend my-----
It don't matter to me
Cos' it's always the same
And I am always the same

I am not a man, everybody say
But it don't matter to me
I better be on my seat
But It don't matter to me

I beg my heart, tell me why
it don't matter to me no no

I put a shine in your eye
It don't matter to me
Cos it's always the same
