[Verse 1: James Dean Bradfield]
Into a vein
Exhibit the derelict
A secular mosaic
Distracted at birth
Cubist abstraction
Let it live forever
Narcissism so lonely
So live by the sea

[Interlude: Nicky Wire]
What a mess

[Chorus: James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire]
Cosmetic
Polemic
Distinguished by relics
Destructive aesthetic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous

[Verse 2: James Dean Bradfield]
Brutality is needed in capitalist society
Television abandoned my very entity
Nature failed me but then it made me
We all pray for pluralist babies
[Chorus: James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire]
Cosmetic
Polemic
Distinguished by relics
Destructive aesthetic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire]
Dismayed
Dispossessed
Life becomes Calvinist
So sparkle and believe
Linguistics die easily
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous
