Blood and Black Leather (Live)
Blood doesn't show on black leather
Rarely does road rash get through
When facing long years of bad weather
Nothing but leather will do
Consider the shape of the future
The lessons we've caught from the past
Put on chainmail and black leather
If you want clothing to last
No one will be wearing linen
Nylon will no more be made
Who will have time for the spinnin'
And what will be left out of trade?
Ah
But so long as anything's living
To strip of its hide and its hair
If you can put up with leather
Well, you'll always have something to wear
Kevlar makes bulletproof armor
But heavy and hotter than hell
Metal needs thick padding under
And it's hot and heavy as well
Now leather may not turn a bullet
But it's light, and it's flexible, too
For running or fighting or hiding
Nothing but leather will do
Rarely does road rash get through
When facing long years of bad weather
Nothing but leather will do
Consider the shape of the future
The lessons we've caught from the past
Put on chainmail and black leather
If you want clothing to last
No one will be wearing linen
Nylon will no more be made
Who will have time for the spinnin'
And what will be left out of trade?
Ah
But so long as anything's living
To strip of its hide and its hair
If you can put up with leather
Well, you'll always have something to wear
Kevlar makes bulletproof armor
But heavy and hotter than hell
Metal needs thick padding under
And it's hot and heavy as well
Now leather may not turn a bullet
But it's light, and it's flexible, too
For running or fighting or hiding
Nothing but leather will do
