GOLD AGAINST THE SOUL, MANIC STREET PREACHERS (June 1993)


"Sit down and bargain
All you like, grizzeled old foxes
We'll wall you up in a splendid palace
 With food, wine, good beds and a good fire
Provided that you discuss, negotiate
For our and your children's lives
May all the wisdom of the universe
Converge to bless your minds
And guide you in the maze
But outside in the cold we will be waiting for you,
The army of those who died in vain,
We of the Marine, of Montecassino,
Treblinka, Dresden and Hiroshima
And with us will be
The leprous and the people with trachoma,
The disappeared ones of Buenos Aires,
Dead cambodians and dying ethiopians,
The prague negotiators,
The bled dry of Calcutta,
The innocents slaughtered in Bologna
Heaven help you if you come out disagreeing
You'll be clutched tight in our embrace
We are invincible because we are the conquered,
Invulnerable because already dead,
We laught at your missiles
Sit down and bargain
Until your tongues are dry
If the havoc and the shame continue
We'll drown you in our putrefaction."
