The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (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 ain'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

EMI 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 (fuck it up)

The greatest rock and roll swindle

The time is right to do it now

I just wanna 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
