GREAT ROCK 'N' ROLL SWINDLE 


People said we couldnīt 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
īCos we didnīt give a toss
Filthy lucre, ainīt nothing new
But we all get cash from the chaos
 
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rockīnīroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
 
E.M.I. said youīre out of hand
And they gave us the boot
But they couldnīt sack us, just like that
Without giving us the loot
 
Thank you kindly A & M
They said we were out of bounds
But that ainīt bad for two weeks work
And 75,000 pounds
 
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rockīnīroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
 
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rockīnīroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
 
I just wanna play with my hand
Are you good enough for me
Hiya boys Iīm the choosen one
Canīt you fucking see
 
Iīm a jealous god and I want everything
And I love you with a knife
Iīll take you, if youīre ready for me
And Iīll give you my life
 
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rockīnīroll swindle
The time is right to do it now
 
The time is right for Nickeyīs Special
The greatest rockīnīroll star
The time is right for me, now!
