(Words: Nicky Wire/Richey James; Music: James Dean Bradfield/Sean Moore)
Obedience to the law is free desire
Under curfew from neon barbed wire
Wasting away this country, wearing like a born dead
Free heroin shots for those who never beg
Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eye
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight
The only free choice is refusal to pay
Life reduced to suicidal pain
Cigarettes a life-line, it's safety in death
Choking on the billboards, advertised and fed
Spectators of suicide
Exploding in society's eye
Democracy is an empty lie
Dead like our yesterdays tonight
You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence
You're gonna shoot us dead with decadence
