Lyrics The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle - Sex Pistols feat. Edward Tenpole

People said we couldn't play
They called us foul-mouthed yobs
But the only notes that really count
Are the ones that come in wads
They all drowned when the air turned blue
Cause we didn't give a toss
Filthy lucre, isn't nothing new
But we all get cash from the chaos
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rock and 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 and roll swindle
The time is right to do it now
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rock and roll swindle
The time is right to do it now
I just want to play with my band
Are you good enough for me
Hiya boys I'm the chosen 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 for Nickey's Special
The greatest rock and roll star
The time is right for me now
I kill
Elvis Presley died in 1959
Chuck Berry you're a big ugly fucker
Ian Dury Cockney Fraud
Mick Jagger white nigger
Bob Geldof got a parking ticket stuck to his arsehole
Bob Dylan is a fucking cunt
Malcolm Mc
Rod Stewarts got a luggage label applied to his tonsils
Elton John hair transplant
Sid Vicious Rock and Roll Cliche
Paul Cook hamburgers
Johnny Rotten-ah his days are even numbered
Rock androll swindle
Swindle
It's a swindle!
