Public Image Lyrics
[Intro: John Lydon]
Hello, hello
Hello, hello
Hello, hello
[Verse 1: John Lydon]
You never listened to a word that I said
You only seen me from the clothes that I wear
Or did the interest go so much deeper
It must have been to the color of my hair
[Refrain: John Lydon]
(The) Public image
[Verse 2: John Lydon]
Oh what you wanted was never made clear
Behind the image was ignorance and fear
You hide behind this public machine
You still follow same old scheme
[Refrain: John Lydon]
(The) Public image
[Verse 3: John Lydon]
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
I will not be treated as property
[Refrain: John Lydon]
(The) Public image
[Verse 4: John Lydon]
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
It's not a game of monopoly
[Refrain: John Lydon]
(The) Public image
[Verse 5: John Lydon]
Public image you got what you wanted
The public image belongs to me
It's my entrance my own creation
My grand finale, my goodbye
[Outro: John Lydon]

Goodbye
