Manic Street Preachers Dead Yankee Drawl
(Music: James Dean Bradfield/Sean Moore; Lyrics: Nicky Wire/Richey James)
Bill and Ted and Waynes World drawl
Just another dull f..cking bore
Vietnams cool now and even Superman's believed
Hussein 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 a forest 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 starving eyes
Burning down a forest just to earn a buck
Dead Yankee Drawl hey we got your beat
Dead Yankee Drawl hey we love Oscar
Smothering injustice seen through Red Indian eyes
Sideway's walk of some Hollywood lies
Let's go down to Greenwich Village and desecrate
The Noraid slogans that justify 6 counties hate
Let's go down Redondo Beach and wax body company
Cos reality for T.V. is Disney not King, Rodney
Let's go to Indiana Youth Centre quickly
Tysons money ain't as free as Junior Kennedys
Yankee
Dead Yankee
Dead Yankee
