Spectators Of Suicide

Manic Street Preachers

Obedience to the law is free desire

Under curfew from neon barbed wire

Wasting away this country,

wearing like a born dead

Free heroin shots for those who never beg



Spectators of suicide

Exploding in society's eye

Democracy is an empty lie

Dead like our yesterdays tonight



The only free choice is refusal to pay

Life reduced to suicidal pain

Cigarettes a life-line, it's safety in death

Choking on the billboards, advertised and fed



Spectators of suicide

Exploding in society's eye

Democracy is an empty lie

Dead like our yesterdays tonight



You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence

You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence
