Who cares?
Who cares what you do?

Who cares about you, you, you, you, you?

Well I’ve fucked a queen

I rammed my cock right down his throat
So what? So what?
So what? So what, you boring little fuck?

Well who cares?
Who cares what you do?
And who cares?
Who cares about you, you, you, you, you?

“So What?” is a song written by the British punk band the Anti-Nowhere League. The song first appeared as the B-side of the band’s debut 7″ single “Streets of London”, in 1981.

The song was famously covered by Metallica and released as a B-side to the “Sad But True” single and later included on the Garage Inc. album; it is also a bonus track on the Asian version of Metallica. “So What?” would go on to become an in-concert standard for the band.

Sum 41 often use the Metallica version as outro music played over the sound system at their concerts.
