Manic Street Preachers Faster Lyrics

"I hate purity, I hate goodness. I don't
want virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone corrupt."

I am an architect, they call me a butcher!
I am a pioneer, they call me primitive!
I am purity, they call me perverted!
Holding you, but I only miss these things when they leave!

I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn!
Life is for the cold made warm, and they are just lizards!
Self-disgust is self-obsession, honey, and I do as I please!
A morality obedient, only to the cleansed, repented!

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer, I spat out Plath and Pinter.
I am all the things that you regret, a truth that washes that learnt how to spell.

The first time you see yourself naked, you cry.
Soft skin now acne, foul breath, so broken.
He loves me truly, this mute solitude I'm draining.
I know I believe in nothing, but it is my nothing!

Sleep can't hide the thoughts splitting through my mind.
Shadows aren't clean, false mirrors, too many people awake!
If you stand up like a nail, then you will be knocked down!
I've been too honest with myself, I should have lied like everybody else!

I am stronger than Mensa, Miller and Mailer, I spat out Plath and Pinter.
I am all the things that you regret, a truth that washes that learnt how to spell! Learnt to spell!

So d___ easy to cave in, man kills everything!
So d___ easy to cave in, man kills everything!
So d___ easy to cave in, man kills everything!
So d___ easy to cave in, man kills everything!
