Dead Yankee Drawl — Manic Street Preachers

Bill and Ted andWayne's World drawl Just another dull fucking bore Vietnam's cool now even Superman's believed Hussein still in power as the media war retreats

Suck your honey until you choke You are a mechanism of social control Multi-national aim of one world culture Turning one dollar into another and another

Dead Yankee Drawl hey we got your beat Dead Yankee Drawl hey we love Oscar Smothering injustice seen through starving eyes Tearing down forests just to earn a buck

Killed off literature for sex and violence Fed a generation the equivalent of silence Dragged Jack down to self same bigotry Passive acceptance of a consumer society

Fake sentiments tying up contracts Making idols of guitars and haircuts Multi-national aim of one world culture Turning one dollar into another and another

Dead Yankee Drawl hey we got your beat Dead Yankee Drawl hey we love Oscar Smothering injustice seen through Red Indian eyes Silent race war of sweet Hollywood lies

Let's go down to Greenwich Village and desecrate The Noraid slogans that justify 6 countries hate

Let's go down Redondo Beach and wax body company Cos reality for T.V. is Disney, not King, Rodney

Let's go down to Indiana Youth Centre quickly Tyson's money ain't as free as Junior Kennedy's
