The Declaration of Indifference - Skyclad

There’s a Fat Cat sitting in a Caddilac

Riding ten feet off the floor

Who says I used to do a little, but I couldn’t get enough

And so a little got more and more.

Well I’ve nothing to show for all these years —

But it still makes me smile

That the ones you always hear the most

Say nothing that’s worthwhile.

No gold, no frankincense or myrrh we bring

Just faith and this burnt offering

So raise your voice with mine and sing

A hymn to long lost causes.

Pledge allegiance to pretence

The white flag of indifference

You sought a grail forged of fools gold

And on the quest your souls were sold.

Living the life of milk and honey

I bet it tastes real sweet

Now the chicks are queueing cus

They all want screwing down on Institution street.

Does it feel so cool when you act

The fool with Charlie, H and E?

Well to my way of thinking there’s

A whole lot of nothing where your

Brains should be.

This planet burns and you couldn’t really care

That your head (unlike the Earth) is full of air

If there’s anybody in there — time has come to face the real world

REPEAT CHORUS

They’re walking tall yet heading nowhere

Shouting loud but saying nothing

So empty-headed, hollow hearted

Tell me how this farce got started

If there’s anybody in there — time has come to face the real world.

REPEAT CHORUS
