Credo

I watch the TV every night
I stay awake by satellite
I hope and pray that the nightmares
Stay away today

An oily shroud on a coral reef
A black cloud hanging over me
When I hit on the remote
The programmes stay the same

A-pom-pa-lay-da
A-pom-pa-lay-da

An assegai slick with sweat and blood
A shotgun barks at a rabid dog
A shallow grave hugs a highway
Beneath a bleaching sun

When cancer sucks a young girl's breast
A company chains a young man's soul
When the coal dust stole
My granddad's breath away
One day

It don't mean nothing
It don't mean nothing
It don't mean nothing
It don't mean nothing to me

A tattered tramp tacks a windy wynd
To close a crowded circle and a brazier's light
A man becomes a mountain
In the falling snow

A mother screams and a baby cries
The memory's gone before the blood has dried
A needle pricks the conscience
It only fade away

It don't mean nothing

It don't mean nothing
It don't mean nothing to me


It don't mean nothing
It don't mean nothing
It don't mean nothing
Ah come on then
It don't mean nothing to me

The more you scream the less you hear
Or that's how it used to be
But I just can't tell the difference
Any more these days

The open lips of an altar boy
A planet spins in a silent void
The options are ever fewer
On the ground these days

Oh
It don't mean nothing to me

A needle pricks the conscience
It only fade away
Only fade away a fade away a fade away

Oh ya gonna fade away
Fade away fade away fade away
Ya gonna fade away
