SKYCLAD
"The Declaration Of Indifference"
(Martin Walkyier)

There's a fat cat sitting in a Cadillac
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 pretense
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 queuing 'cause 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
The time has come to face the real world

Pledge allegiance to pretense
The white flag of indifference
You sought a grail forged of fools gold
And on the quest your souls were sold.

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
The time has come to face the real world

Pledge allegiance to pretense
The white flag of indifference
You sought a grail forged of fools gold
And on the quest your souls were sold
