Manic Street Preachers - The Masses Against the Classes Lyrics

The country was founded on the principle that the
primary role of government is to protect property from the majority
- and so it remains

One, two, three, four

Hello it's us again we're still so in love with you
And yes we mean it too yes we're so in love with you
Hello it's us again you thought you were our friends
Success is an ugly word especially in your tiny world

The masses against the classes
I'm tired of giving a reason
When the future is what we believe in
We love the winter it brings us closer together

So can you hurt us anymore can you feel like it was before
Or are you lost forever more messed up and dead on alcohol
Hello fond farewell my dears I hope you hear this nice and clear
Our love is unconditional our hate is yours to feed upon

The masses against the classes
I'm tired of giving a reason
When the future is what we believe in
We love the winter it brings us closer together

The masses against the classes
I'm tired of giving a reason
When we're the only thing left to believe in
We love the winter it brings us closer together

A slave begins by demanding justice and ends by wanting to wear
a crown
