Manic Street Preachers - Faster lyrics

I hate purity

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 damn easy to cave in, man kills everything

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything

So damn easy to cave in, man kills everything
