Credo Lyrics

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. When cancer sucks a young girl’s breast. A company chains a young man’s soul When the coal dust stole My grandad’s breath away, one day! Chorus: Credo, credo, credo, credo, 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. 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. Credo, credo, credo, credo, 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. It don’t mean nothin’; it don’t mean nothin’ It don’t mean nothin’; Ah tell me, it don't me nothin' o 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 Anymore these days. The open lips of an alter boy, A planet spins in a silent void, The options are ever fewer On the ground these days Credo, (it should have meant something to me) Credo, (it should have meant something to me) Crdo, (it should have meant something to me) credo, (it should have meant something to me) credo, (it should have meant something to me) credo, (it should have meant something to me) credo, (it should have meant something to me) credo, (it should have meant something to me) It don’t mean nothin’; it don’t mean nothin’ It don’t mean nothin’; oh, it don't, it don't, it don't mean nothing to me To me It don't mean nothing to me Credo, Credo, Credo, Credo 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. 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. Why don't you fade away
