Manic Street Preachers - Red Rubber Lyrics






My idle ledgers have fiasco boss
Time to wake up kids of the cold war
Some scars so deep they'll never heal
Reparations pint glass unclean
Civilisation takes up many forms
Usually disguised and fatally flawed

White king - red rubber
Black death are you listening?
White king - red rubber
Free god together, so let’s all sing

Oh Leopold, you betrayed our souls
Sold the heart of your country
For all the rubber and all the money
My idle ledgers have fiasco boss
Time to wake up kids of the cold war
Some scars so deep they'll never heal
Reparations pint glass unclean
Civilisation takes on many forms
Usually disguised and fatally flawed

White king - red rubber
Black death are you listening?
White king - red rubber
Free god together, so let's all song

    What single is this off?

    A true proof that the Manics’ can’t compose waste. Even B-sides are masterpieces.

    I just can't believe how Leopold's genocide in the Congo has been all but forgotten.  The Belgians are still, to this day, putting it out there that he was a "liberator" and "bringer of civilisation" to protect the image of the current Monarchy (descendants of Leopold II).  He was a repellant human being who made the Congo into one huge  forced labour camp.  Please check out the book (the song is named after it) and the documentary that was also made about it (again, the same name: White King, Red Rubber, Black Death).

    Haha glad you found it amusing and the end part sound's like " the three go together it's so less salty!" lol of course what he is really saying is "is so less insulting" I believe anyhow! :P
