Soul Contamination Lyrics - Manic Street Preachers

Everyone is staring with the glaze of obsession 

Interlocking cartels bypassing the bone 

The empty statement of artschool dissension 

Institutionalised expression of mass control 

And if when America flings in whole 

Your pile of misery where centuries be 

And he does win a holiday after a poll 

One per cent interest stand up with glee 

Soul contamination spreads the germs of finance 

Making weak minds think this is what they want 

Power facts are brutally sold to worn darkened skin 

Arise the new scum arise to the sound of a drum 

With your desk degrees in civil engineering 

They're drawing up plans for a future for themselves 

And sweet daddy buys up a university 

On a mission tied next to suits

Soul contamination - die because you crossed by fire 

Soul contamination - poverty expressed in your heart 

Soul contamination - arise, surrender, burn 

Soul contamination - do you rise up
