Sex Pistols - The Great Rock 'N Roll Swindle lyrics

rate me

People said we couldn´t play

The called us foul-mothed yobs

But the only notes that really count

Are the ones that come in wads

They all drowned when the air turned blue

´Cos we didn´t give a toss

Filthy lucre, ain´t nothing new

But we all get cash from the chaos

The time is right to do it now

The greatest rock´n´roll swindle

The time is right to do it now

E.M.I. said you´re out of hand

And they gave us the boot

But they couldn´t sack us, just like that

Without giving us the loot

Thank you kindly A & M

They said we were out of bounds

But that ain´t bad for two weeks work

And 75,000 pounds

The time is right to do it now

The greatest rock´n´roll swindle

The time is right to do it now

The time is right to do it now

The greatest rock´n´roll swindle

The time is right to do it now

I just wanna play with my hand

Are you good enough for me

Hiya boys I´m the choosen one

Can´t you fucking see

I´m a jealous god and I want everything

And I love you with a knife

I´ll take you, if you´re ready for me

And I´ll give you my life

The time is right to do it now

The greatest rock´n´roll swindle

The time is right to do it now

The time is right for Nickey´s Special

The greatest rock´n´roll star

The time is right for me, now!
