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

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 time is right for nickey's special 

The greatest rock'n'roll star 

The time is right for me, now!
