lyrics

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 chain-mail 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'? What will be left out of trade?
But so long as anything's living to strip of its hide and its hair,
If you can put up with leather 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.
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.
