The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle Lyrics

People said we couldn't play
they called us foulmouthed yobs
but the only notes that really count
are the ones that come in wads.
They all drowned when the air truned blue
'cos we didn't give a toss
filthy lucreaids nothing new
but we all get cash from chaos

chorus:
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
70.000 pounds.

chorus (repeat x 2)

I just wanna play with my band
are you good enough for me
hiya boys I'm the chosen one
can't you f*ckin' see.
I'm a jealous god and Iwant 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.

chorus (repeat) Lead Vocal Over:

The time is right for looking special
the greatest heavy metal star
the time is right for me, now!
I kill
