Manic Street Preachers - Soul Contamination lyrics

Everyone is staring with the glaze of obsession Interlocking cartels bypa**ing the bone The empty statement of artschool dissension Institutionalised expression of ma** control And if when america flings in whole Your pile of misery where centuries be And he does win a holiday after a poll One per cent interest stand up with glee Soul contamination spreads the germs of finance Making weak minds think this is what they want Power facts are brutally sold to worn darkened skin Arise the new scum arise to the sound of a drum With your desk degrees in civil engineering They're drawing up plans for a future for themselves And sweet daddy buys up a university On a mission tied next to suits Soul contamination - die because you crossed by fire Soul contamination - poverty expressed in your heart Soul contamination - arise, surrender, burn Soul contamination - do you rise up
