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.
[CHORUS:]
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]
