Dead Yankee Drawl Lyrics - Manic Street Preachers

Bill and Ted and Waynes World drawl 

Just another dull fucking bore 

Vietnams cool now and even Superman's believed 

Hussein in power as the media war retreats 

Suck your honey until you choke 

You are a mechanism of social control 

Multi-national aim of one world culture 

Turning one dollar into another and another 

Dead Yankee Drawl hey we got your beat 

Dead Yankee Drawl hey we love Oscar 

Smothering injustice seen through starving eyes 

Tearing down a forest just to earn a buck 

Killed off literature for sex and violence 

Fed a generation the equivalent of silence 

Dragged Jack down to self same bigotry 

Passive acceptance of a consumer society 

Fake sentiments tying up contracts 

Making idols of guitars and haircuts 

Multi-national aim of one world culture 

Turning one dollar into another and another 

Dead Yankee Drawl hey we got your beat 

Dead Yankee Drawl hey we love Oscar 

Smothering injustice seen through starving eyes 

Burning down a forest just to earn a buck 

Dead Yankee Drawl hey we got your beat 

Dead Yankee Drawl hey we love Oscar 

Smothering injustice seen through Red Indian eyes 

Sideway's walk of some Hollywood lies 

Let's go down to Greenwich Village and desecrate 

The Noraid slogans that justify 6 counties hate 

Let's go down Redondo Beach and wax body company 

Cos reality for T.V. is Disney not King, Rodney 

Let's go to Indiana Youth Centre quickly 

Tysons money ain't as free as Junior Kennedys 

Yankee 

Dead Yankee 

Dead Yankee
