[Spoken by James Dean Bradfield]
P.C.P

[Instrumental Intro]

[James Dean Bradfield]
1, 2, 3, 4!

[Instrumental Intro Continuation]

[Verse 1]
Teacher starve your child, P.C. approved
As long as the right words are used
Systemised atrocity is ignored
As long as bilingual signs on view
Ten-foot sign in Oxford Street
Be pure - be vigilant - behave
Grey not neon
Grey not real
Life bleeds
Death is your birthright

[Bridge]
P.C
She speaks impotent, sterile
Naive, blind, atheist, sadist
Stiff upper lip
First principle of her silence
Of her silence!
[Chorus]
P.C.P., a P.C. police victory
P.C.P., a P.C. pyrrhic victory
When I was young
P.C. meant Police Constable

[Instrumental Interlude]

Liposuction for your bad mouth boy
Cut out your tongue
Effigies are sold
Words discoloured
Bow to the bland
Heal yourself with sinner's salt
Doctors arrested for euthanasia
Kill smokers through blind vanity
If you're fat don't get ill
Europe's gravestone carved in plastic

[Bridge]
P.C. she says inoculate, hallucinate
Beware Shakespeare, bring fresh air
King cigarette snuffed out
By her midgets
By her midgets!
[Chorus]
P.C.P., a P.C. police victory
P.C.P., a P.C. pyrrhic victory
When I was young
P.C. meant Police Constable

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
P.C. caresses bigots and big brother
Read Leviticus
Learnt censorship
Pro-life equals anti-choice
To be scared of...
Of feathers!

[Chorus]
P.C.P., a P.C. police victory
P.C.P., a P.C. pyrrhic victory
When I was young
P.C. meant Police Constable
Nowadays
I can't seem to tell the fucking difference
[Outro (With spoken Nicky Wire)]
Lawyers before love
Surrogate sex
This land bows down to yours
Unconditional love and hate
Pass the Prozac
Designer [Amnesiac?]
