Another Invented Disease
Manic Street Preachers · Generation Terrorists 20th Anniversary Edition [2012]
U.N. exports it everyday.
Their armies feed the ghetto lame.
Government approve it just the same.
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me.
I need to feel alone amongst the weeds.
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me.
I need to feel, I need to feel, I need to feel, I need to feel.
We need and will always need.
Another invented disease.
We need and are taught to need.
Another invented disease.
Left alone in corporate slums.
Where germs are free not amex fun.
Healthy bodies in healthy minds.
Only exist in advert time.
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me.
I need to feel alone amongst the weeds.
Daylight bores the sunshine out of me.
I need to feel, I need to feel, I need to feel, I need to feel.
We need and will always need.
Another invented disease.
We need and are taught to need.
Another invented disease.
Sunk deep in my TV.
Maybe sucked the soul from within me.
We need and will always need.
Another invented disease.
We need and are taught to need.
Another invented disease.
Another Invented Disease
Another Invented Disease stands as a defining track from the Manic Street Preachers' early period, appearing on their debut album Generation Terrorists. The song captures the band's signature blend of punk energy and intellectual lyricism, reflecting themes of alienation and societal critique that characterized their initial rise in the Welsh rock scene. James Dean Bradshaw's driving guitar work anchors the recording, while the band's dynamic vocal delivery underscores the urgency of their message. As part of a landmark release that established their reputation for merging political commentary with melodic rock, the track remains a staple of their live performances. It exemplifies the group's ability to craft anthemic songs that resonate with listeners through raw emotion and sharp observation, securing its place within their enduring discography.
