Democracy Coma was a B-Side to the 1991 single ‘Love’s Sweet Exile/Repeat’,and also appears on the 2003 compilation ‘Lipstick Traces – A Secret History of Manic Street Preachers’ as well as the truncated US edition of Generation Terrorists. The song serves as an anti-royalist statement, specifically...
[Verse 1]
Sovereign fingers scrape our lives until we are bought
Screaming comatose with blackboard chalk
Siphoned minds suck a wallet full of love
Spitting out a language I don't wanna talk
[Chorus]
Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream
[Verse 2]
To me the coronation's another auto-da-fé
Taught in schools to see her as a glorious being
I don't see happy homes but the Belfast wall
In Walkman sounds hear Sony control
[Chorus][x2]
[Verse 3]
Parliament mother of United Nations
Mother of history's dead son, dead sons
DNA of restriction and law
Death, famine, spectacle of war
[Chorus][x2]
Democracy Coma was written by Richey Edwards & Nicky Wire & James Dean Bradfield & Sean Moore.
