Sex Pistols - The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle lyrics

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 band Are you good enough for me Hiya boys I'm the chosen one Can't you f**ing 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 for Nickey's Special The greatest rock'n'roll star The time is right for me, now! Rock n roll swindle Rock n roll swindle (repeat til end)
