Manic Street Preachers – The Masses Against The Classes Lyrics 11 years ago
Can't believe it's taken me so long to ever comment on this song but I entirely agree with Paulotehmanio. I don't think it's in line with the Manic's "socialist type" leanings at all and that they're very much "the classes" in this song.
I think it's a big two fingers up to the fans moaning at them and the last line isn't so much a comment on society, as pointing out that even if they have become the slave with a crown, they're not utterly disgusted at themselves for having done so.

"Success is an ugly word, especially in your tiny World" applies very much to the thoughts I have on many in Glasgow just now whooping and hollering about being in the 44.7%
