Manic Street Preachers - Virginia State Epileptic Colony Lyrics

Manic Street Preachers Lyrics

"Virginia State Epileptic Colony"

They sit around tables rendered dumb
Coloured sticks of chalk are passed around
Today the doctors allow the illusion of choice
Tomorrow the necks split, there is no voice

Piggy
V.S.E.C.
Cleaning, cooking and flower arranging
Dissolves a kind of liberation

Draw a perfect circle, sleep-foetus-like
Six chalk colours, the very meaning of life
They wake to strobes and half-circled light
Confusion lifts with potassium percolate

Piggy
V.S.E.C.
Cleaning, cooking flower arranging
Dissolves a kind of liberation

Pig, pig, piggy
V.S.E.C.
Cleaning, cooking flower arranging
Dissolves a kind of liberation

Piggy
V.S.E.C.
Cleaning, cooking flower arranging
Dissolves a kind of liberation

Pig, pig, piggy
V.S.E.C.
Cleaning, cooking flower arranging
Dissolves a kind of liberation
