[Verse 1: Johnny Rotten]
God save the Queen
The fascist regime
It made you a moron
Potential H-bomb
God save the Queen
She ain't no human being
There is no future
In England's dreaming
[Pre-Chorus 1: Johnny Rotten]
Don't be told what you want to want to
And don't be told what you want to need
There's no future, no future
No future for you
[Chorus: Johnny Rotten]
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
We love our Queen
God saves
[Verse 2: Johnny Rotten]
God save the Queen
'Cause tourists are money
And our figurehead
Is not what she seems
Oh, God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh, Lord, God have mercy
All crimes are paid
[Pre-Chorus 2: Johnny Rotten]
When there's no future, how can there be sin?
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future, your future
[Chorus: Johnny Rotten]
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
We love our Queen
God saves
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Johnny Rotten]
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
And there is no future
In England's dreaming
[Outro: Johnny Rotten]
No future
No future
No future for you
No future
No future
No future for me
No future
No future
No future for you
No future
No future for you
God Save the Queen was written by Steve Jones & Paul Cook & Glen Matlock & John Lydon.
God Save the Queen was produced by Bill Price & Chris Thomas.
Sex Pistols released God Save the Queen on Thu Oct 27 1977.
Johnny Rotten proved that he really believed what he preached (about the queen) –
As far as I’m concerned, she ain’t no human being. She’s a piece of cardboard they drag around on a trolley.
The majority of England loved the queen. So, they defended her and banned the song from the radio.
