SKYCLAD
"A Near Life Experience"
(Music: Steve Ramsey, Dave Pugh/ Lyrics: Martin Walkyier)

Just a blank expression
Sitting in an easy chair
The living incarnation
Of a world that doesn't care
Mesmerized by media lies
Now they're "new and improved" by a cunning disguise
It drinks their poisoned water
And thrives off noxious air

The avant-garde of apathy waits on the front line
Ever so patiently, just biding its time
They're an advertiser's dream with a greed habit
Their only fear is the fear of a green planet

The avant-garde of apathy looks after itself
Long past its sell-by date you're still preserved on the shelf
They'd rather ruin the world than let their children have it
Their only fear is fear of a green planet

The avant-garde of apathy, vegetates undefeated
But if you don't want to join it then you're helping to beat it
Don't let the chance pass you by, you've got to reach out and grab it
Turn this world they have made into a green planet
