Lyrics
(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 cloud's 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 don't mean nothin'; it don't mean nothin' It don't mean nothin'; it don't mean nothin' to me
When cancer sucks a young girl's breast When a company chains a young man's soul When the coal dust stole My grandad's breath away
(Chorus)
A tattered tramp tacks a windy wynd To close a crowded circle a brazier's 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 that's how it used to be But I just can't 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
