R.P. McMurphy Lyrics by Manic Street Preachers

Little Baby Nothing (Single)

1991

[Verse 1]
Straight jacket your own beauty
Because it's just a breakdown away
From the gutter to the jewel
A symbol sold in investment days
Defenseless as the pages you burn
A baby drowning under a profit curve
Money bruises the skin at birth

[Chorus]
I just wanna lie down in my bed
Make myself different from the rest
Use a thought to put myself to sleep
Collapsing in the fields where it feels free
Where it feels free
R.P. McMurphy

[Refrain]
Na na na na na na na na... no more pills and no more drugs
Na na na na na na na na... no more pills and no more drugs

[Verse 2]
This country pisses debris
Like ugly people made pretty
Underneath cheap make-up
Deformed, disguised mind decay
Buy, consume, get more credit
Learn to serve a life sentence here
Style yourself in sterility

[Chorus]
I just wanna lie down in my bed
Make myself different from the rest
Use a thought to put myself to sleep
Collapsing in the fields where it feels free
Where it feels free
R.P. McMurphy

[Refrain]
Na na na na na na na na... no more pills and no more drugs
Na na na na na na na na... no more pills and no more drugs
