Manic Street Preachers
The Second Great Depression
[Verse 1]
The second great depression
Lasted longer than I figured
It stuck around and lingered
Surrounded me and conquered

The second great depression
Left me cold and withered
In your eyes I see it mirrored
I can't believe I let it happen

[Chorus]
I thought about it a million times
When you and me did nothing but smile
Remember all those days

I thought about it a million times
When you and me did nothing but smile
When forgiveness was the best
And just forget about the rest

[Verse 2]
The second great depression
I've tried so hard to shake it
Collapse or come together
What happened to forever?
The second great depression (The second great depression)
Lasted longer than I figured (Lasted longer than I figured)
It stuck around and lingered (It stuck around and lingered)
Divided me and conquered

[Chorus]
I thought about it a million times
When you and me did nothing but smile
Remember all those days

I thought about it a million times
When you and me did nothing but smile
When forgiveness was the best
And just forget about the rest

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I thought about it a million times
When you and me did nothing but smile
Remember all those days

I thought about it a million times
When you and me did nothing but smile
When forgiveness was the best
And just forget about the rest
