Massive Attack - Great Rock'n Roll Swindle Lyrics

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 f*cking 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!
