Fish - credo текст песни

(dick/simmonds/boult/usher)

I watch the tv every night,

I stay awake by satellite,

I hope and pray the nightmares,

Stay away today.

An oily shroud on a coral reef,

A black clouds hanging over me.

When I hit on the remote,

The programmes stay the same.

Credo, credo, credo, credo.

An assegai slick with sweat and blood,

A shotgun barks at a rabid dog,

A shallow grave hugs a highway,

Beneath a bleaching sun.

Chorus:

Credo, credo, credo, credo,

It dont mean nothin; it dont mean nothin

It dont mean nothin; it dont mean nothin to me.

When cancer sucks a young girls breast.

When a company chains a young mans soul

When the coal dust stole

My grandads breath away.

(chorus)

A tattered tramp tacks a windy wynd,

To close a crowded circle a braziers light,

A man becomes a mountain, in the falling snow.

A mother screams and a baby cries.

The memory gone before the blood has dried.

A needle pricks the conscience,

To help it fade away.

(chorus)

The more you scream, the less you hear,

Or thats how it used to be.

But I just cant tell the difference

Anymore these days.

The open lips of an alter[1] boy,

A planet spins in a silent void,

The options are ever fewer

On the ground these days

(chorus)

[1] sic. is this supposed to be altar? this is how it appears on the lyric sheet.
