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 $$#egai 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)
