Two Parties on an Iceberg - I Don't Kiss the Golden Calf

Whatever parties on a melting iceberg.
Would it be sinful if I simply don't kiss the golden calf?

Two parties on an iceberg
Both convinced they own the sea
One is shouting, "We're the future!"
One says, "Come and follow me"
They've got banners, they've got lighting
They've got heroes dressed in gold
I can tell you who I'm leaving
That doesn't mean I've been sold

Don't mistake my hesitation
For a lack of point of view
I can see the cracks beneath us
And I see them under you

I know which party I won't vote for
That doesn't mean I have to dance at the other one
You can keep your golden spotlight
You can keep your chosen son
I don't need another saviour
With a microphone and drum
Oh, I'm not above the madness
I've been wrong a time or two
But I won't kiss a golden calf
Just because it isn't you

My clever friends are celebrating
They've got reasons, charts and wine
Every question has an answer
Every answer picks a side
Someone asks me why I'm sitting
While the whole damn room's on fire
I say, "Darling, I'm just wondering
Who the hell has checked the wire?"

I can hate the way you govern
I can praise a thing you've done
There's no contradiction, darling
I don't owe my soul to anyone

I know which party I won't vote for
That doesn't mean I have to dance at the other one
You can raise another banner
You can crown another son
I don't need a golden idol
Just to know which way to run
Oh, I'm not above the madness
I've been wrong a time or two
But I won't kiss a golden calf
Just because it isn't you

And underneath the water
There's a world we haven't seen
While the dancers keep on dancing
On a slowly melting dream
Mon Dieu, quelle belle soirée...
Everybody dressed to win
I just came to ask a question
They wouldn't let the question in

I know which party I won't vote for
That doesn't mean I have to dance at the other one
Let the music shake the ceiling
Let the faithful have their fun
I can make my own decisions
Without worshipping anyone

Two parties on an iceberg.
Very impressive.
À votre santé.
I'll be at the bar.
