Skyclad - The Declaration Of Indifference Lyrics

There's a fat cat sittin' in a Cadillac
Ridin' ten feet off the floor
Who says, "I used to do a little but I couldn't get enough
And so the little got more and more"

Well, I've nothin' to show for all these years
But it still makes me smile
The ones you always hear the most
Say nothin' 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 fool's 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

The 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 fool's 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 start again

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 fool's gold
And on the quest your souls were sold
Sell out
