Manic Street Preachers - Ifwhiteamericatoldthetruthforonedayit'sworldwouldfallapart lyrics

Next Thursday you're invited to
Watch Rising Tide's
Live coverage of a gala tribute
In salute to Ronald Reagan host Haley
Barbour joins special guest Lady
Margaret Thatcher in celebrating
The former president's
83rd birthday tickets are 1000 Dollars
A plate but you can see the
Event free on GOP TV

Images of perfection, suntan and napalm
Grenada, Haiti, Poland, Nicaragua
Who shall we choose for our morality
I'm thinking right now of Hollywood tragedy
Big Mac, smack, Phoenix, R, please
Smile y'all
Cuba, Mexico can't cauterise our discipline
Your idols speak so much of the abyss
Yet your morals only run as
Deep as the surface

Cool, groovy, morning, fine
Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
I love a free country
The stars and stripes and an apple for mommy

(Conservatives say) "There ain't no black
In the Union Jack"
(Democrats say) "There ain't enough white
In the Stars and Stripes"

Compton, Harlem, a pimp fucked a priest
The white man has just found
A new moral saviour
Vital stats, how white was their skin
Unimportant, just another inner-city
Drive-by thing morning, fine
Serve your first coffee of the day
Real privilege
It will take your problems away
Number one, the best, no excuse from me
I am here to serve the Moral Majority

Cool, groovy, morning, fine
Tipper Gore was a friend of mine
I love a free country
The stars and stripes and an apple for mommy

Zapruder the first to masturbate
The world's first taste of crucified grace
(And we say) there's not enough
Black in the Union Jack
(And we say) there's too much white
In the Stars and Stripes

Fuck the Brady bill! Fuck the Brady bill!
"If God made man, " they say
"Sam Colt made him equal"
