MANIC STREET PREACHERS LYRICS - Democracy Coma

"Democracy Coma"



Sovereign fingers scrape our lives until we are 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



Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe

Mother of the free but we just scream



Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe

Mother of the free but we just scream



Parliament mother of United Nations

Mother of history's dead sun, dead suns

DNA of restriction and law

Death, famine, spectacle and war



Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe

Mother of the free but we just scream



Mother of the free but we just scream

Mother of the free but we just scream
