Little Baby Nothing

Manic Street Preachers

No one likes looking at you

Your lack of ego offends male mentality

They need your innocence

To steal vacant love and to destroy

Your beauty and virginity used like toys



My mind is dead, everybody loves me

Wants a slice of me

Hopelessly passive and compatible

Need to belong, oh the roads are scarey

So hold me in your arms

I wanna be your only possession



Used, used, used by men



All they leave behind is money

Paper made out of broken twisted trees

Your pretty face offends

Because it's something real that I can't touch

Eyes, skin, bone, contour, language as a flower



No god reached me, faded films and loving books

Black and white TV

All the world does not exist for me

And if I'm starving, you can feed me lollipops

Your diet will crush me

My life just an old man's memory



Little baby nothing

Loveless slavery, lips kissing empty

Dress your life in loathing

Breaking your mind with Barbie Doll futility



Little baby nothing

Sexually free, made-up to breakup

Assassinated beauty

Moths broken up, quenched at last

The vermin allowed a thought to pass them by



You are pure, you are snow

We are the useless sluts that they mould

Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany

Culture, alienation, boredom and despair



You are pure, you are snow

We are the useless sluts that they mould

Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany

Culture, alienation, boredom and despair
