Cover art for Golden Platitudes lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

I think of it as about being born out of time - in an era where capitalism is seen and portrayed as the only way, and there is currently no other viable option for anyone thinking along different lines - even the now liberal left (so far removed from it's purpose of years ago).

Great tune - love the demo/acoustic version too.
