about

“Those who restrain desire,
Do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained” – William Blake

Note from the band: We genuinely don’t like this edit. It was the result of a disagreement between band, producer and record company (who were desperate for a 3’30” radio hit), and ended up pleasing no-one. It’s included here for completism, but if you’re after one version to download we recommend the full album version, which hasn’t been hacked into near-unrecognisable pieces. That said, the two b-sides on this EP are the best we ever did, and arguably should have been on the ‘God Bless…’ album.

lyrics

MISS BLACK AMERICA (single edit)
“Those who restrain desire,
Do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained” – William Blake

You used to be the life and soul
Now you practice and preach self-control
Yeah, you are obsessed with privacy but there’s none
Six billion mobile phones
There’s no escape
Trust no-one

Shout it out until your blood runs cold
Shout it out until your lungs explode
Shout it out, “I am Miss Black America”
Shout it out, “I am Miss Black America”

What happened to your urge to destroy
And your mission to bring the noise?
Two young boys wanking over atlases
Six billion empty heads
Death to the living dead

Shout it out until your blood runs cold
Shout it out until your lungs explode
Shout it out, “I am Miss Black America”
Shout it out, “I am Miss Black America”

Shout it out, “They won’t take us alive
“We are beyond embarrassment
“We want real lives
“And we’ll get them, yes, you’ll see”
So, shout it out
Shout a hard thing and a mean thing
Let the hatred flow free
Be an obscene thing
Be obscene

I am Miss Black America.
