Song Lyrics

(Words: Nicky Wire/Richey James; Music: James Dean Bradfield/Sean Moore)

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
Exported in society`s eyes
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight

The only free choice is refusal to beg
Life reduced to suicidal pain
Cigarettes a life-line, it`s safety in death
Choking on the billboards, advertised and fed

Spectators of suicide
Exported 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
