Manic Street Preachers
Spectators of Suicide
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eye
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eye
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight
[Outro]
You're going to shoot us dead with decadence
You're going to shoot us dead with decadence
