Manic Street Preachers
Stars and Stripes
[Narration]
I've seen this happen before
This is a message from occupied England
British adults expect a nuclear war in our lifetime
From earliest human existence there
Proved to be two fundamental ways of thinking

[Verse]
Repeat after me
Fuck queen and country
Repeat after me
Death sentence heritage
Repeat after me
Death camp palace

[Chorus 1]
Useless generations
Dumb flag scum
Useless generations
Dumb flag scum

[Chorus 2]
Repeat after me
Fuck queen and country
Repeat after me
Royal Khymer Rouge
Repeat after me
Imitation demi-god

[Chorus 1]
Useless generations
Dumb flag scum
Useless generations
Dumb flag scum

[Narration]
I've seen this happen before
A force of sensationalism
A force of sensationalism
From earliest human existence there proved to be two fundamental ways of thinking
What happens to the brains?
What happens?
British adults expect a nuclear war in our lifetime

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 2][2x]

[Outro: Narration]
British adults expect a nuclear war in our lifetime [2x]
