Manic Street Preachers
Imperial Bodybags
[Verse 1]
Imperial bodybags
Coming home in dribs and drabs
Life as numbers, with doggy tags
Filled with holes they're coming back
So come out of the sky
I never had a chance to wave goodbye
Thrown away and unhappy
Driven by hypocrisy
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Like a lover who has lost her faith
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Fades away
[Chorus]
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposable
Children wrapped in home-made flags
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposable
Children wrapped in home-made flags
[Verse 2]
And yeah we loved our kids
We're still human like everyone else
Average withdrawn
Stuck in school
Always willing to stick by the rules
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Like a lover who has lost her faith
Nothing's finished it just fades away
Fades away (it fades away)
[Chorus]
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposable
Children wrapped in home-made flags
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposable
Children wrapped in home-made flags
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposable
Children wrapped in home-made flags
Imperial bodybags, Prom Queen disposable
Children wrapped in home-made flags
