We Her Majesty's Prisoners

Manic Street Preachers
Language: English


Manic Street Preachers


Jewels drip red and I don't sound proud
Treason's ambition I want dead procession
All we got unholy leftovers of a compromise
Leaving us like butterflies trapped in the frost

Right now

Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you
Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you

England's glory lives on in worldwide genocide
So celebrate Buchenwald as Her Majesty's heir
Now an obsolete face on a currency of illusion
No matter what we own we can't buy freedom

Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you
Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you

Throw myself against you 'cos you ain't frail
Underneath silk riches six million giving slaves
This needle of religion's gonna rust in my skin
Tear out and exit obedience of created sin

Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you
Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you baby

Faces pressed at gates of anniversary torture
Without these fake images we'd never bow down
Don't need this history but we still accept
Conscripted into a past that invents our guilt

Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you
Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you

Hello future
You are my lover
