Jagger Mick - She’s The Boss lyrics

(dick/simmonds/boult/usher)

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.

Credocredocredocredo.

An assegai slick with sweat and blood

A shotgun barks at a rabid dog

A shallow grave hugs a highway

Beneath a bleaching sun.

Chorus:

Credocredocredocredo

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 mountainin 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 screamthe 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)

[1] sic. is this supposed to be altar? this is how it appears on the lyric sheet.
