We Her Majesty's Prisoners

We Her Majesty's Prisoners - Manic Street Preachers

Jewels drip red

And I don't sound proud

Treason is ambition

I want dead procession

All we got unholy left-overs

Of a compromise

Leaving us like butterflies

Trapped in frost

(bow down)

Ceremony R**e machine

Love won't corrode you

Ceremony R**e machine

Love won't corrode you

Englands glory lives

On in world wide genocide

So celebrate buchenwald

As her majestys heir

Now an obsolete face

On a currency of illusion

No matter what

We own we can't buy freedom

Ceremony R**e machine

Love won't corrode you

Ceremony R**e machine

Love won't corrode you

Throw myself against

You cos you ain't frail

Underneath silk riches

Sixty six million giving slaves

This needle of religions

Gonna rust my skin

Tear out and exit

Obeyance of created sin

Ceremony R**e machine

Love won't corrode you

Ceremony R**e machine

Love won't corrode you baby

Faces pressed at gates

Of anniversary torture

Without these fake images

Wed never bow down

Don't need this history

But we still accept

Conscripted into a past

That invents our guilt

Ceremony R**e machine

Love won't corrode you

Ceremony R**e machine

Love won't corrode you
