Manic Street Preachers - Archives Of Pain Lyrics
I wonder who you think you are
You damn well think you're God or something
God give life, God taketh it away, not you
I think you are the Devil itself
Then prisons must bring their pain
Don't be ashamed to slaughter
The centre of humanity is cruelty
There is never redemption
Any fool can regret yesterday
Nail it to the House of Lords
You will be buried in the same box as a killer, as a killer, as a killer
A drained white body hangs from the gallows
Is more righteous than Hindley's crotchet lectures
The weak die young and right now we crouch to make them strong
Kill Yeltsin, who's saying?
Zhirinovsky, Le Pen,
Hindley and Brady, Ireland, Allit, Sutcliffe,
Dahmer, Nielson, Yoshinori Ueda,
Blanche and Pickles, Amin, Milosovic
Give them respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Execution needed
A bloody vessel for your peace
If man makes death then death makes man
Tear the torso with horses and chains
Killers view themselves like they view the world, they pick at the holes
Not punish less, rise the pain
Sterilise rapists, all I preach is extinction
Kill Yeltsin, who's saying?
Zhirinovsky, Le Pen,
Hindley and Brady, Ireland, Allit, Sutcliffe,
Dahmer, Nielson, Yoshinori Ueda,
Blanche and Pickles, Amin, Milosovic
Give them respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Give them the respect they d e s e r v e

Possibly the most awesome guitar solo ever.
I wish Richey stuck around, they were on some real shit with this one
Love this. Does make me feel a little dirty though
If hospitals cure
Then prisons must bring their pain
Don't be ashamed to slaughter
The centre of humanity is cruelty
There is never redemption
Any fool can regret yesterday
Nail it to the House of Lords
You will be buried in the same box as a killer, as a killer, as a killer
A drained white body hanging from the gallows
Is more righteous than Hindley's crotchet lectures
Pain not penance, forget martyrs, remember victims
The weak die young and right now we crouch to make them strong
Kill Yeltsin, who's saying?, Zhirinovsky, Le Pen
Hindley and Brady, Ireland, Allit, Sutcliffe
Dahmer, Nielson, Yoshinori Ueda
Blanche and Pickles, Amin, Milosovic
Give them respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Execution needed
A bloody vessel for your peace
If man makes death then death makes man
Tear the torso with horses and chains
Killers view themselves like they view the world
They pick at the holes
Not punish less, rise the pain

Kill Yeltsin, who's saying? Zhirinovsky, Le Pen
Hindley and Brady, Ireland, Allit, Sutcliffe

Give them respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Give them the respect they deserve
Its "Kill Yeltsin, Hussein (ie Saddam Hussein)". There was a mis-spelling in the album lyrics section.
@prosperosmask ahh cool I didn't know about that
@prosperosmask Nah bruh, Richey has said it was who's saying/?
@CRACKEN GEEK PRODUCTIONS Unless you have located Richey and he has said that then I suspect that you are mistaken. Hussein makes sense in the context of the lyrics, "who's saying" makes no sense at all.
@prosperosmask Unfortunately I have not located Richey.
On the tour book for the Holy Bible tour '94, Richey and Nicky did some explanations behind the lyrics, and I quote from Richey:
That line: 'Kill Yeltsin, who's saying?' - well, Yeltsin is a figure of hate to us. A person who's basically an alcoholic... That's a personal, petty Manics thing.
The who's saying is a faster way of writing: who thinks we should kill Yeltsin: (list).
Here's the link to the typed up version. Well worth a read:

One of the best albums ever.
Doesn't this song have the longest solo great song!
What a great band
“The weak die young and right now we crouch to make them stronger.” Pure poetry.
That Hendrix-like solo to close out the song is epic as fuck.
God I love this song!
I think you are the devil itself... Bbbbubuuu that bass line gets me every time. This song is awesome
Jeffrey Neilan back in Sunday school, they told us that Jesus said to love everybody...
So on the way to church one day, I told my mom I love the devil...
She almost wrecked the car
