Manic Street Preachers
"Democracy Coma"


Sovereign fingers scrape our lives until we're bought
Screaming comatose with blackboard chalk
Siphoned minds suck a wallet full of love
Spitting out a language I don't wanna talk 

Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream

To me the coronation's another auto da fe
Taught in schools to see her as a glorious being
I don't see happy homes but the Belfast wall
In walkman sounds hear Sony control 

Parliament mother of united nations
Mother of history's dead sun dead suns
DNA of restriction and law
Death famine spectacle and war
