Great Rock'n Roll Swindle Lyrics

Massive Attack

People said we couldn´t playThe called us foul-mothed yobsBut the only notes that really countAre the ones that come in wadsThey all drowned when the air turned blue´Cos we didn´t give a tossFilthy lucre, ain´t nothing newBut we all get cash from the chaosThe time is right to do it nowThe greatest rock´n´roll swindleThe time is right to do it nowE.M.I. said you´re out of handAnd they gave us the bootBut they couldn´t sack us, just like thatWithout giving us the lootThank you kindly A & MThey said we were out of boundsBut that ain´t bad for two weeks workAnd 75,000 poundsThe time is right to do it nowThe greatest rock´n´roll swindleThe time is right to do it nowThe time is right to do it nowThe greatest rock´n´roll swindleThe time is right to do it nowI just wanna play with my handAre you good enough for meHiya boys I´m the choosen oneCan´t you fucking seeI´m a jealous god and I want everythingAnd I love you with a knifeI´ll take you, if you´re ready for meAnd I´ll give you my lifeThe time is right to do it nowThe greatest rock´n´roll swindleThe time is right to do it nowThe time is right for Nickey´s SpecialThe greatest rock´n´roll starThe time is right for me, now!
