Lyrics: The Greatest Rock 'n' roll Swindle

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
But 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 greastest rock'n'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 our bounds
But that ain't bad for two weeks work
And £75,000

The time is right to do it now
The greastest rock'n'roll swindle
The time is right to do it now

The time is right to do it now
The greastest rock'n'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 to do it now
The greastest rock'n'roll swindle
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

Rock 'n' roll swindle
Rock 'n' roll swindle
Rock 'n' roll swindle
Rock 'n' roll

(keep repeating)

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
(keep repeating)

Swindle, it's a swindle!

Rock and roll
Swindle it's a swindle
