You Love Us (Heavenly Version)

Manic Street Preachers

We are not your sinners
Our voices are for real
We realised and won't be mourned
We gonna burn your deathmask uniforms

We won't die of devotion
Understand we can never belong
Thrown some acid on the Mona-Lisa's face
Pollute your mineral water
with a strychnine taste

You love us
You love us
You love us
You love us
You love us
You love

Until I see love in statues
Your lessons drill inherited sin
Parliament's a fake life saver
You better wake up and smell the real flavour

You love us like a holocaust
Same P.R. problem as E.S.T.
You love us like a holocaust
Same P.R. problem as E.S.T.

You love us
You love us
You love us
You love us
You love us
You love

    General CommentThis was done when they were on the Heavenly record label before they signed to Epic. Richey looks quite sick in the video, or maybe it's just the lighting.

    General CommentPure manics bravado- I love it. Full of outrageous claims and their supposed inability to bond with an audience even though the audience loves them. This is back from the times when they were cracking jokes about the humor of lennon getting shot, or paving over glastonbury stadium or wherever.
