Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore





Liberty, sweet liberty

Charitable respectability

Then pacifism killed us all

For all the tourists on the berlin wall



So we protest about human rights

Worship obesity as our birthright

But freedom of speech won't feed my children

Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing



We love to kiss the dalai lama's ass

Because he is such a holy man

Free to eat and buy anything

Free to fuck from paris to beijing



Little boys with dangerous toys

All bow down to the beastie boys

But freedom of speech won't feed my children

Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing



Royalty - hereditery - unelected and becalmed

Just like stalin, just like stalin

Human and useless



Bomb the chinese embassy

The west is free, oh the west is free

Laugh at the hammer and sickle

It is antique, oh it is antique



And see the love in richard gere's eyes

Js pemberton saved our lives

But freedom of speech won't feed my children

Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing

Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
