Lyrics: Manic Street Preachers. Are Mothers Saints.

If piss is yellow then life must be gray
How come they smile when we throw it away?
And if it is a color then it must be sin
And you want to apologize but keep it all in

Why worship a God when a mother is a saint?
Why worship stone?
They give life and take it back
Spit you out but understand

And when their arms are dead, how do they sigh?
As gentle as the winter that fades by
And some kind of angel appears in their eyes
Or is it just the devil screaming inside

Why give into useless devotion?
Truth and beauty, love and hate, mother and God
They give life and take it back
Spit you out but understand

Stay silent when you want to shout
Give when we piss it away
