The Great Rock 'N' Roll Swindle lyrics

(Capeheart, Cochran)

Well c'mon everybody and let's get together tonight
I got some money in my jeans
And I'm really gonna spend it right
Well I've been doing my homework all week long
Now to have some fifty and my folk are gone
Ooh c'mon everybody
Oh well my baby's number one
But I'm gonna dance with three or four
And the house will be shaking from bare feet
A-stamping on the floor

(Revaux, Francois, Anka)

And now the end is near and so I face the final curtain
You cunt, I'm not a queer I'll state my case of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full and each and every highway
And yet, much more than this I did it my way
And yes, I've had a few but then again, to few to mention
But dig, what I have to feel I'll see it through with no devotion

(Jones, Temple, Cook)

People said we couldn't play They called us foul-mouthed
But the only notes that really count
Are the ones that come in wads
They all drowned when the air turned blue
'Cos w 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 greastes rock'n'roll swindle
The time is right to do it now

What you see, you can get
Nothing's free, nothing's said
Don't be fooled by the signs
Don't read in between the lines

What you're gonna say
What you're gonna do
Now you've missed out once again
But I thought you knew

Oh you silly thing
You've really gone and done it now
Oh you silly thing
You really gone and done it now

Trouble here, trouble there
People stop just to stare
