Manic Street Preachers - Soul Contamination lyrics

Everyone is staring with the
Glaze of obsession
Interlocking cartels bypassing the bone
The empty statement of art school dissension
Institutionalized expression of mass control
And if when America fills in the hole
Your pile of misery where centuries be
And he does win a holiday after a poll
One percent interest stand up with glee
Soul contamination spreads the
Germs of finance
Making weak minds think this
Is what they want
Power facts are brutally sold
To worn darkened skin arise the new scum
Arise to the sound of a drum
With your desk degrees in civil engineering
They're drawing up plans for
A future for themselves
And sweet daddy buys up a university
On a mission tied next to suit's

Soul contamination
Die because you crossed by fire
Soul contamination
Poverty expressed in your heart
Soul contamination arise, surrender, burn
Soul contamination do you rise up?
