Are Mothers Saints lyrics
by Manic Street Preachers



(Music: James Dean Bradfield/Sean Moore; Lyrics: Nicky Wire/Richey James)If piss is yellow then life must be greyHow come they smile when we throw it awayAnd if it is a colour then it must be sinAnd you want to apologise but keep it inWhy worship a god when a mother is a saintWhy worship stoneThey give life and take it backSpit you out but understandAnd when their arms are dead how do they sighAs gentle as the winter that fades byAnd some kind of angel appears in her eyesOr is it just the devil screaming insideWhy give into useless devotionTruth and beauty, love and hate, mother and GodThey give life and take it backSpit you out but understandStay silent when you want to shoutGive, give when we piss it away(c) 1993 Sony Music Publishing
