[Spoken James Dean Bradfield]
[Groan]
Let's [?] a little Slash'n'burnin'

[Guitar Intro]
Oh!
[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
You need your stars
Even killers have prestige
Access to a living you will not see
24-hour boredom
I'm convicted instantly
Gorgeous poverty of created needs

[Chorus- With partially spoken Nicky Wire]
Slash and Burn!
Third world to the first- uh!

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 2 - With partially spoken Nicky Wire]
Worms in the garden- more real than a McDonalds
Drain your blood and let the Exxon spill in
Look around here and you'll see nothing is very real
Chained to economy now the famine has been
[Chorus]
Slash and Burn!
Third world to the first!

[Guitar Interlude]

[Vocal Interlude/ Post-Chorus]
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need

[Bridge]
Madonna drinks coke and so you can too!
Tastes real good, not like a sweet poison should
Too much comfort to get decadent
Politics are death and God is safer sex

[?]
Is he dead?
Is he dead?
Is he dead?!

[Instrumental Interlude/ Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Slash and Burn!
Third world to the first!
Slash and Burn!
Kill to live, kill for your kicks
Third world to the first!
[Instrumental Outro/ Guitar solo]

[Spoken- James Dean Bradfield]
Don't you [understand/?] your old man tonight?!
