Manic Street Preachers
Freedom of Speech Won’t Feed My Children
[Verse 1]
Liberty, sweet liberty
Charitable respectability
The pacifism killed us all
For all the tourists on the Berlin wall
So, we protest about human rights
Worship obesity as our birthright

[Chorus]
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

[Verse 2]
We love to kiss the Dalai Lama's ass
Because he is such a holy man
Free to eat and buy anything
Free to fuck from Paris to Beijing
Little boys with dangerous toys
All bow down to the Beastie Boys

[Chorus]
And freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
[Bridge]
Royalty
Hereditary
Unelected and becalmed
Just like Stalin, just like Stalin
Human and useless

[Verse 3]
Bomb the Chinese Embassy
The West is free, oh, the West is free
Laugh at the hammer and sickle
It is antique, oh, it is antique
And see the love in Richard Gere's eyes
JS Pemberton saved our lives

[Chorus]
And freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
