Democracy Coma
Lyrics and Songs by Manic Street Preachers - Go back

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
CHORUS
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
CHORUS
Parliament mother of United
Nations
Mother of history's dead sun,
dead suns
DNA of restriction and law
Death, famine, spectacle and war
CHORUS
