Are Mothers Saints Lyrics - Manic Street Preachers

If piss is yellow then life must be grey 

How come they smile when we throw it away 

And if it is a colour then it must be sin 

And you want to apologise but keep it in 

Why worship a god when a mother is a saint 

Why worship stone 

They give life and take it back 

Spit you out but understand 

And when their arms are dead how do they sigh 

As gentle as the winter that fades by 

And some kind of angel appears in her eyes

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

Or is it just the devil screaming inside 

Why give into useless devotion 

Truth and beauty, love and hate, mother and God 

They give life and take it back 

Spit you out but understand 

Stay silent when you want to shout 

Give, give when we piss it away
