Lyrics Manic Street Preachers

Manic Street Preachers

Are Mothers Saints

If piss is yellow then life must be grey

How can they smile when we throw it away

And if it is a colour then it must be sin

You want to apologise better keep it in

Why worship a God

When a mother is a saint

Why worship stone

They give life and take it back

Spit you out but understand

And when the arms are dead how do they sigh

As gentle as the winter that fades by

And some kind of angel appears in her eyes

Or is it just the devil screaming inside

Why give in to useless devotion

Truth and Beauty, Love and Hate

Mother and God

They give life and take it back

Spit you out but understand

Stay silent when you wanna shout

Give, give when we piss it away
