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.
