Samuel and the Dragon Lyrics

Astrology eradicated
So what, so what?
It's all that we've got
It's all that we can give
Believe it or not,
It's all that we can give, and I don't mind
I'm not out for us to fly or be set free
So what, so what?
I'd show you, you'd show me, so much, so much
It's all that we've got
It's all that we can give
Believe it or not,
It's all that we can give, and I don't mind
It's all that we've got
It's all that we can give
Believe it or not,
It's all that we can give, and I don't mind
Your blood, it flows in from the western sea
Your eyes, they shine in through this shaded tree
Oh I believe in you
These places, they have changed
I don't know anything but you know me,
Oh, you know me
It's all that we've got
It's all that we can give
Believe it or not,
It's all that we can give, and I don't mind
It's all that we've got
It's all that we can give
Believe it or not,
It's all that we can give, and I don't mind
At all

Even though astrology has been eradicated and the mother may not have approved of the Sunday dress, the singer does not mind and is content with what they have.

@TheJokerX94
If anything I feel that response is more realistic, surely there's been times in your life when someone's asked you something and your reply was "i'm just not" or other variants along those lines
