Manic Street Preachers - IfwhiteAmericatoldthetruthforonedayitsworldwouldfallapart Lyrics






Next Thursday you're invited to watch Rising Tide's live coverage
of a gala tribute in salute to Ronald Reagan.
Host Haley Barbour joins special guest lady Margaret
Thatcher in celebrating the former president's 83 birthday.
Ticket's are 1000 Dollars a plate but you can see the event free on GOP TV.

Images of perfection, suntan and napalm
Grenada - Haiti - Poland - Nicaragua
Who shall we choose for our morality
I'm thinking right now of Hollywood tragedy

Big mac: smack: phoenix r: please smile y'all
Cuba, Mexico can't cauterize our discipline
Your idols speak so much of the abyss
Yet your morals only run as deep as the surface

Cool - groovy - morning - fine
(If white)
Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
(America)
I love a free country
(told the truth)
The stars and stripes and an apple for mommy
(for one day)

Conservative say: there ain't no black in the union jack
Democrat say: there ain't enough white in the stars and stripes

Compton - Harlem - a pimp fucked a priest
The white man has just found a new moral saviour
Vital stats - how white was their skin
Unimportant - just another inner-city drive-by thing

Morning - fine - serve your first coffee of the day
Real privilege, it will take your problems all away
Number one - the best - no excuse from me
I am here to serve the moral majority

Cool - groovy - morning - fine
(If white)
Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
(America)
I love a free country
(told the truth)
The stars and stripes and an apple for mommy
(for one day)

Zapruder the first to masturbate
The world's first taste of crucified grace
And we say: there's not enough black in the union jack
And we say: there's too much white in the stars and stripes

Fuck the Brady bill
Fuck the Brady bill
If God made man they say
Sam Colt made him equal

    A little bit, remind me to Annalisa from PIL

  2. I.... O....

    Life is lead weights, pendulum died
    Pure or lost, spectator or crucified
    Recognised truth acedia's blackest hole
    Junkies winos whores the nation's moral suicide
    Loser - liar - fake - phoney
    No-one cares, everyone is guilty
    Fucked up - don't know why - you poor little boy

    We are all of walking abortions
    Shalom shalom we all love our children
    We all are of walking abortions
    Shalom shalom there are no horizons

    Mussolini hangs from a butcher's hook
    Hitler reprised in the worm of your soul
    Horthy's corpse screened to a million
    Tisu revived, the horror of a bullfight
    Fragments of uniforms, open black ruins
    A moral conscience - you've no wounds to show
    So wash your car in your 'X' baseball shoes

    We all are of walking abortions
    Shalom shalom we all love our children
    We are all of walking abortions
    Shalom shalom there are no horizons

    Little people in little houses
    Like maggots small blind and worthless
    The massacred innocent blood stains us all
    Who's responsible - you fucking are
    Who's responsible - you fucking are
    Who's responsible - you fucking are
    Who's responsible - you fucking are
    Who's responsible

    what a beautiful indictment of the human race. and correct too: we've destroyed the planet and are only worsening our destruction. really sorry, future humans. we like you are weak hateful beings who need to be wiped from existence

    what a legacy this paints , and on the othr side we have conquering the universe...

    @steven fagan we ain't getting off this planet, and thank fuck for that. the rest of the universe can sigh in relief (not that they'd be any better if they were the culmination of an iterative process similar to earthly evolution, which lets the worst among a species go on to breed while the weak are killed). life is the problem really, it's inextricably parasitic to other life.

    06hatter The spoken introduction from Hubert Selby Jr. might be a clue: that we exist in some kind of time loop or reincarnation cycle. We may trapped in a realm that is a simulation of what a putative Creator intended. In another MSP song: "I recognise dim traces of creation".

    Welp, now I know where Serj Tankian got his entire vocal style from.

    Lyrics:
    [Sampled Intro]
    I knew that someday I was gonna die. And I knew before I died
    Two things would happen to me. That number one, I would regret my entire life. And number two, I would want to live my life over again

    [Verse 1]
    Life is lead weights, pendulum died
    Pure or lost, spectator or crucified
    Recognised truth acedia's blackest hole
    Junkies, winos, whores; the nation's moral suicide

    Loser, liar
    Fake or phoney? No one cares
    Everyone is guilty
    Fucked up, don't know why, you poor little boy

    [Chorus]
    We are all of walking abortions
    Shalom shalom we all love our children
    We all are of walking abortions
    Shalom shalom there are no horizons

    [Verse 2]
    Mussolini hangs from a butcher's hook
    Hitler reprised in the worm of your soul
    Horthy's corpse screened to a million
    Tiso revived, the horror of a bullfight

    Fragments of uniforms, open black ruins
    A moral conscience - you've no wounds to show
    So wash your car in your 'X' baseball shoes

    [Chorus]
    We are all of walking abortions
    Shalom shalom we all love our children
    We all are of walking abortions
    Shalom shalom there are no horizons

    [Outro]
    Little people in little houses
    Like maggots small blind and worthless
    The massacred innocent blood stains us all

    Who's responsible - you fucking are
    Who's responsible - you fucking are
    Who's responsible - you fucking are
    Who's responsible - you fucking are
    Who's responsible

  6. J.... B....

    Some great philosopher from the 1960's said "We're all one up from a wank" Good to remember if somebody thinks they're something special!!!

  7. C.... G....

  8. S.... D....

    LIFE IS LEAD WEIGHTS PENDULUM DIED

  9. G.... K....

    Mussolini hangs from a butcher's hook. Hitler reprised in the worm of your soul.
