Credo Lyrics - Fish

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 programs stay the same 

Credo, credo, credo, credo 

An assegai slick with sweat and blood 

A shotgun barks at a rabid dog 

A shallow grave hugs a highway 

Beneath a bleaching sun 

When cancer sucks a young girl's breast 

When a company chains a young man's soul 

When the coal dust stole 

My granddad's breath away, one day 

Credo, credo, credo, credo 

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 

A tattered tramp tacks a windy wind 

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 

Credo, credo, credo, credo 

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 

It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' 

It don't mean nothin', tell me, it don't mean nothin' to me 

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 altar boy 

A planet spins in a silent void 

The options are ever fewer 

On the ground these days 

Credo, credo, credo, credo 

Credo, credo, credo, credo 

It don't mean nothin', it don't mean nothin' 

It don't mean nothin', it don't, it don't 

It don't mean nothin' to me, to me 

It don't mean nothin' to me 

Credo, credo, credo 

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 programs stay the same 

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 

Don't you fade away 

Fade away, fade away, fade away 

Don't you fade away, don't you fade away 

Fade away, fade away, fade away
