MANIC STREET PREACHERS - P. C. P. lyrics

rate me

Lyrics by richey james and nicky wire,

music by james dean bradfield and sean moore

Teacher starve your child, p.c. approved

As long as the right words are used

Systemised atrocity ignored

As long as bi-lingual signs on view

Ten foot sign in oxford street

Be pure - be vigilant - behave

Grey not neon, grey not real

Life bleeds, death is your birthright

P.c. she speaks impotent, sterile,

naïve, blind, atheist, sadist,

stiff-upper lip, first principle of her silence, of her silence

Pcp - a p.c. police victory

Pcp - a p.c. phyrric victory

When I was young p.c. meant police constable

Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference

Liposuction for your bad mouth boy

Cut out your tongue, effigies are sold

Words discoloured, bow to the bland

Heal yourself with sinner's salt

Doctors arrested for euthanasia

Kill smokers through blind vanity

If you're fat don't get ill

Europe's gravestone carved in plastic

P.c. she says inoculate, hallucinate,

beware shakespeare, bring fresh air,

king cigarette snuffed out by her midgets, by her midgets

Pcp - a p.c. police victory

Pcp - a p.c. pyrrhic victory

When I was young p.c. meant police constable

Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference

P.c. caresses bigots and big brother,

read leviticus, learnt censorship,

pro-life equals anti-choice, to be scared of, of feathers

Pcp - a p.c. police victory

Pcp - a p.c. pyrrhic victory

When I was young p.c. meant police constable

Nowadays I can't seem to tell the difference

Lawyers before love, surrogate sex

This land bows down to

Yours, unconditional love and hate

Pass the prozac, designer amnesiac
