The Intense Humming Of Evil

Manic Street Preachers · The Holy Bible (10th Anniversary Edition) [2005]

You were what you were

Clean cut, unbecoming

Recreation for the masses

You always mistook fists for flowers



Welcome, welcome soldier smilin'

Funeral march for agony's last edge

6 million screaming souls

Maybe misery, maybe nothing at all



Lives that wouldn't changed a thing

Never counted

Never mattered

Never be



Arbeit macht frei

Transports of invalids

Hartheim castle breathes us in

In block 5 we worship malaria



Lagerstrasse, poplar trees

Beauty lost dignity gone

Rascher surveys us

Butcher bacteria



Welcome, welcome soldier smilin'

Soon infected, nails broken hungers a word

6 million screaming souls

Maybe misery, maybe nothing at all



Lives that wouldn't changed a thing

Never counted

Never mattered

Never be



Drink it away

Every tear is false

Churchill no different

Wish the workers bled to a machine
