Manic Street Preachers - Democracy Coma Lyrics






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

    Sound of our times and our brave new world.

    One of my favourite non album tracks. Along with Ain't Goin Down

  5. R.... ....

    and still relevant, just like the Manics

  6. E.... F....

    Fabulous song - seems to be as relevant today as it was in 1992. What choices democracy has given us this year... (Trump v. Clinton) (Corbyn v. May) (Johnson/Farage v. Cameron) (Hollande v. Le Pen / Sarkozy)

    God help us.

  7. J.... P....

    Should`ve been on Generation Terrorists. The production is superb.

    Best band ever.
