[Spoken- James Dean Bradfield]
This is dedicated to Oliver Stone
Its called 'Faster'

[Instrumental Introduction]

[Verse 1]
I am an architect, they call me a butcher
I am a pioneer, they call me primative
I am purity, they call me perverted
Holding you but I only miss these things when they leave

[Pre-Chorus- with partially-spoken Nicky Wire]
I am idiot drug-hive, the virgin
The tattered and the torn
Life is for the cold-made-warm
And they are just lizards
Self-disgust is self-obsession, honey
And I do as I please
A morality obedient only to the cleansed repented

[Chorus- with partially-spoken Nicky Wire]
I am stronger than Mensa
Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes
That learnt how to spell

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2]
The first time you see yourself
Naked you cry
Soft skin- now acne
Foul breath, so broken
He loves me truly
This mute solitude I'm draining
I know I believe in nothing but it is my nothing

[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind
Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors
Too many people awake
If you stand up like a nail then you will be knocked down
I've been to honest with myself
I should've lied like everybody else

[Chorus- with partially-spoken Nicky Wire]
I am stronger than Mensa
Miller and Mailer
I spat out Plath and Pinter
I am all the things that you regret
A truth that washes
That learnt how to spell
Learn how to fucking spell!

[Instrumental Interlude/ Guitar solo]

[Outro]
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything!
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything!
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything!
So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything!
