This song is a cover, originally performed by Sex Pistols on the 1977 album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols‘.
The lyrics are a rant against the British monarchy, which was a big controversy back in the ‘70s, but the song has become one of the most recognisable punk songs of all time...
God save the Queen
A fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb
God save the Queen
She ain't no human being
And there's no future
In England's dreaming
Tell me something
Do what you wanted
Tell me nothing
Do what you need
There's no future
No future
No future for you
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
We love our Queen
God save
God save the Queen
Cause tourists are money
And our figurehead
Is not what she seems
God save history
God save your mad pride
Oh Lord God, have mercy
All crimes are paid
When there's no future
They can't keep saying
We're the snake and we're done right in
We're poison of the human machine
We're the future
Your future
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
We love our Queen
God saves
God save the Queen
We mean it, man
And there's no future
In England's dreaming
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
