The Second Great Depression - Manic Street Preachers

The second great depression

Lasted longer than I figured

It stuck around and lingered

Surrounded me and conquered

The second great depression

Left me cold and withered

In your eyes I see it mirrored

I can't believe I let it happen

I thought about it a million times

When you maintained nothing but smile

Remember all those days

I thought about it a million times

When you maintained nothing but smile

When forgiveness was the best

Just forget about the rest

The second great depression

I've tried so hard to shake it

Collapse or come together

What happened to forever?

The second great depression (The second great depression)

Lasted longer than I figured (Lasted longer than I figured)

It stuck around and lingered (It stuck around and lingered)

Divided me and conquered

I thought about it a million times

When you maintained nothing but smile

Remember all those days

I thought about it a million times

When you maintained nothing but smile

When forgiveness was the best

Just forget about the rest

I thought about it a million times

When you maintained nothing but smile

Remember all those days

I thought about it a million times

When you maintained nothing but smile

When forgiveness was the best

Just forget about the rest
