Freedom of Speech Won’t Feed My Children / [silence] / We Are All Bourgeois Now Songtext
von Manic Street Preachers

Liberty, sweet liberty
Charitable respectability
Then pacifism killed us all
For all the tourists on the Berlin Wall

So we protest about human rights
Worship obesity as our birthright
But freedom of speech won′t feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

We love to kiss the Dalai Lama's ass
Because he is such a holy man
Free to eat and buy anything
Free to fuck from Paris to Beijing


Little boys with dangerous toys
All bow down to the Beastie Boys
But freedom of speech won′t feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

Royalty, hereditary
Unelected and becalmed
Just like Stalin, just like Stalin
Human and useless

Bomb the Chinese Embassy
The west is free, oh, the west is free
Laugh at the hammer and sickle
It is antique, oh, it is antique

And see the love in Richard Gere's eyes
J.S. Pemberton saved our lives
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
