You
need your stars, even killers have prestige
Access to a living you will not see
24 boredom, I'm convicted instantly
Gorgeous poverty of created needs
Slash
and burn
Kill to live
Kill for kicks
Third world to the first
Kill to live
Worms
in the garden more real than a McDonalds
Drain your blood and let the Exxon spill in
Look around here, you see nothing is very real
Chained to economy now famine has been
Slash
and burn
Kill to live
Kill for kicks
Third world to the first
Kill to live
That's
all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
That's all you need
Madonna
drinks Coke and so you can too
Taste's real good not like a sweet poison should
Too much comfort to get decadent
Politics here's death and God is safer sex
Slash

Get
some pain and I feel alive - born to end
Close my eyes overdose on hell - born to end
Get run over by no direction - born to end
Breathing dead and I'm born to end - born to end
Fall
to the floor my baby [baby]
I no longer believe [baby]
Fall to the floor my baby [baby]
I've lost the love to sleep
H-bomb
the only thing that will bring a freedom to life
Underneath the blue skies beautiful empty dying
Nagasaki dolls are burning
Europe
freed by McDonalds and Levis - born to end
Can't afford it so I hate it all - born to end
Images linger like repression - born to end
Concentration camps of our dreams - born to end
Fall
to the floor my baby [baby]
I no longer believe [baby]
Fall to the floor my baby [baby]
I've lost the love to sleep
H-bomb
the only thing that will bring a freedom to life
Underneath the blue skies beautiful empty dying

Underneath the blue skies beautiful empty dying dolls

Culture
sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto
Each
day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever
Under
neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Life
lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power
Just
like lungs sucking on air
Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Under
neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
All
we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

Under

Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Drive
away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit
Living
life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

We
are not your sinners
Our voices are for real
We realised and won't be mourned
We gonna burn your deathmask uniforms
We
won't die of devotion
Understand we can never belong
Throw some acid into your face
Pollute your mineral water with a strychnine taste
You
love us
You love us
You love us
You love
You love us
Oh you love us
You love
You love us
You love us
You love
Till
I see love in statues
Your lessons drill inherited sin
Parliaments a fake life saver
You better wake up and smell the real flavour
You
love us like a holocaust
Same PR problem as EST

Love's
Sweet Exile
Author:
Nicky Wire / Richey James
Between the billboard masturbation
Across highways of metallic isolation
There lies the deafening screaming of the millions
Wiping out the diseased pages of apathy that bleed our innocence...
Love's
sweet exile
Love's sweet exile
We
blur into images of state coercion
Classified machines die misunderstood
City reflections pour out misery
We don't count cos we hate
Rain
down alienation
Leave this country
Leave this country
Rain down alienation
Leave this country
Leave it
Despair
seeps through and cuts our eyes
Unified collapse of everything inside
We understand but can't accept
That you are not dead cos we hate
Rain
down alienation
Leave this country
Leave this country
Rain down alienation
Leave this country
Leave it
Our
lives drift into a faceless sense of void
Everything of meaning becomes destroyed
There's too much concrete for us to breathe
We are kept down cos we hate
Love's
sweet exile
Love's sweet exile
Rain
down alienation
Leave this country
Leave this country
Rain
down alienation
Leave this country
Believe it

Little
Baby Nothing
Author:
Nicky Wire / Richey James
No
one likes looking at you
Your lack of ego offends male mentality
They need your innocence
To steal vacant love and to destroy
Your beauty and virginity used like toys
My
mind is dead, everybody loves me
Wants a slice of me
Hopelessly passive and compatible
Need to belong, oh the roads are scary
So hold me in your arms
I wanna be your only possession
Used,
used, used by men
Used, used, used by men
All
they leave behind is money
Paper made out of broken twisted trees
Your pretty face offends
Because it's something real that I can't touch
Eyes, skin, bone, contour, language as a flower
No
god reached me, faded films and loving books
Black and white TV
All the world does not exist for me
If I'm starving, you can feed me lollipops
Your diet will crush me
My life just an old man's memory
Little
baby nothing
Loveless slavery, lips kissing empty
Dress your life in loathing
Breaking your mind with Barbie doll futility
Little
baby nothing
Sexually free, made-up to breakup
Assassinated beauty
Moths broken up, quenched at last
The vermin allowed a thought to pass them by
You
are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair
You
are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair

Your
dream can never earn enough
Ultimate nihilistic love
Tennessee
nights just zip-code love
Always believe the comfort of strangers
Tennessee eyes graffiti once blue
Media sells a trace of hate
Media sells a trace of hate
Our
epitaph reads like your sin
Subvert, destroy, beat derelict
Tennessee
nights just zip-code love
Commanche becomes as maggot
Tennessee eyes orange once blue
Media sells a trace of hate

Daylight
bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel alone amongst the weeds
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel [I need to feel]
I need to feel [I need to feel]
We
need and we will always need
Another invented disease
We need and we are taught to need
Another invented disease
Left
alone in corporate slums
Where germs are free not AMEX fun
Healthy bodies in empty minds
Only exists in advert time
Daylight

I need to feel alone amongst the weeds
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me
I need to feel [I need to feel]
I need to feel [I need to feel]

Sunk

Maybe sucked the soul from within me

Find
your faith in your security
All broken up at seventeen
Jam your brain with broken heroes
Love your masks and adore your failure
We're
a mess of eyeliner and spraypaint
DIY destruction on Chanel chic
In the culture of consumption
This is a culture of destruction
Don't
wanna see your face
Don't wanna hear your words
Why don't you just...
Don't
wanna see your face
Don't wanna hear your words
Why don't you just...
Babes
on the run with poisoned lips
Wrap your arms around this everlasting kiss
Clinging to your own sense of waste
All we love is lonely wreckage
Your
school your dole and your chequebook dreams
Your clothes your suits and your pension schemes
Now you say you know how we feel
But don't fall in love cos we hate you still
Don't
wanna see your face
Don't wanna hear your words
Why don't you just...
Don't
wanna see your face
Don't wanna hear your words
Why don't you just..

Learn
to sleep through misery
Never gonna wake feeling free
No one fucks as good as Marilyn
Plastic surgery sure cures your sins
You
need a fix I'm your prostitute
Repression says depravity's cute
I'll feed you lines to make you smile
You are so easy to dehumanise
It's
not that I can't find worth in anything
It's just that I can't find worth in enough
It's not that I can't find worth in anything
In your love
Pay
for it
Pay for it
Degrade your senses till you hate me
Begging
to be cool through nicotine
Decadence costs but she must be clean
Build up walls so you can't feel
When you get high "It's so unreal"
Days
fade in and I need the night
I've seen your dumb face all of my life
Eyes close down, I don't wanna see
Broken communion of the twentieth century
It's
not that I can't find worth in anything
It's just that I can't find worth in enough
It's not that I can't find worth in anything
In your love
Pay
for it
Pay for it
You're gonna pay for my intelligence
Pay
for it
Pay for it
Cos I'm a slut and you just suck
Pay

Pay for it
Degrade your senses till you hate me
Pay

You're gonna pay for my intelligence
Cos I'm a slut and you just suck

Spectators
Of Suicide
Author:
Nicky Wire / Richey James
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
Spectators
of suicide
Exploding in society's eyes
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight
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
Spectators
of suicide
Exploding in society's eyes
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight
You're
gonna shoot us dead with decadence
You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence

Feed

Can't you hear me howl
Feed me
Cos I'm a damned dog now
Gotta
taste for flesh
Gotta taste for danger
So I foam and chew
Bite the hands of a stranger
Feed

So mighty so hegemonic so hating so
desecrating
So there so nowhere so hurting we fall between indifference
Rejection and the whole fucking wall we fall
Christen
me Fuhrer Nazarene
Believe in tomorrow but not today
Give me all your possessions
Make
poverty your perfect home
Allow your leaders to control you
Questions are now blasphemy
Why
walk when you can crawl
Stay on your knees and kiss my feet
Censorship'll stop your excess thought
Check your billboard for my tour
Listen
to Luke sermon six
"And if one of the occupation troops
Forces you to carry his pack
One kilometer carry it two"
Be
a tourist in the warzone
Interrogate scriptures and not your stinking home
That diet of bread and water's old
Now
feed on alcohol drug and do as you're told
Now we'll take your number for a name
Soak mind control in christening water out of jail
Fall
in love, fall in love with me
Nail a crucifix onto your soul
Fall in love, fall in love with me
Nail a crucifix onto your soul
Fall in love, fall in love with me
Nail a crucifix onto your soul
Fall in love, fall in love with me
Nail a crucifix onto your soul

You're methadone pretty, surrender in pity
Intentional destruction germ
Eats your thoughts and make you happy
They
wanna piece of your skin
Pump it safer than, than a suicide
Methadone pretty
Methadone pretty
Heart
beats like a refugee machine
Pretty hostage mass, licensed to obey
Xerox days to acceptance
Decline accelerates into prejudice
They
wanna piece of your skin
Pump it safer than, than a suicide
Methadone pretty
Methadone pretty
I
accuse history, I accuse
I accuse history, I accuse
I accuse history
I
accuse history, I accuse
I accuse history, I accuse
I don't need your history
Wreckage
inside all that's real
Another bought product, no reality
Passive consumers with patrolled desires
Mindless countdown to retirement
They
wanna piece of your skin
Pump it safer than, than a suicide
Gonna stay a terminal young thing
And never gonna be methadone pretty
Methadone

Condemned To Rock 'N' Roll
Author:
Nicky Wire / Richey James
Always
feeling torn and slow
Love song cull destroy poem
Misery and trauma making love
Best go shoot the fucking doves
The
past is so beautiful
The future like a corpse in snow
I think it's all the fucking same
It's a life sentence babe
A
line of vodka tears inside
A shot of boredom helps my mind
Staring through a thousand dead eyes
I guess my nerves are brutalised
Lips
I kiss just another plague
Love can't fix the hole they made
Condemned to rock 'n'
Condemned to rock 'n' roll
No
innocent exit when hope dies
And claustrophobia buys my mind
I ran to breathe contagious lies
No reasons for just living life
Ripcord opens but my soul is cold
With you I never felt more alone
Skin never sweating dignity
Kept my line beneath ecstasy
This
fragile prison of sanity
An ocean wave to death babe
Masochistic love going nowhere
You're nothing, pestilience, a seed
Lips
I kiss just another plague
Love can't fix the hole they made
Condemned to rock 'n'
Oblivions all we know
Lips
I kiss just another plague
Lips I kiss just another plague
Love can't fix the hole they made
Sterile
like a line of piss, motherfucker
Review with avant garde lips, you're just a motherfucker
There's
nothing I wanna see
There's nowhere I wanna go
