The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle
Sex Pistols

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

'Cos we didn't give a toss

Filthy lucre ain't nothing new

But we all get cash from 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're 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 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

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


Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll


Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll


Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll


Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll


Rock 'n' roll

Rock 'n' roll

Rock 'n' roll

Rock 'n' roll


Rock 'n' roll

Rock 'n' roll

Rock 'n' roll

Rock 'n' roll


Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll


Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll swindle

Rock 'n' roll
