Intro
verse 1
People said we couldn t play
They called us foul-mouthed yobs
But the only notes that really count
Are the ones that come in wads
They all drowned when the air turned blue
Cause we didn t give a toss
Filthy lucre, isn t nothing new
But we all get cash from the chaos
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rock and roll swindle
The time is right to do it now
verse 2
E.M.I. said you are out of hand
And they gave us the boot
But they couldn t sack us, just like that
Without giving us the loot
Thank you kindly A & M
They said we were out of bounds
But that isn t bad for two weeks work
And 75,000 pounds
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rock and roll swindle
The time is right to do it now
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rock and roll swindle
The time is right to do it now
verse 3
I just want to play with my band
Are you good enough for me
Hiya boys I m the chosen one
Can t you ing see
I m a jealous god and I want everything
And I love you with a knife
I ll take you, if you re ready for me
And I ll give you my life
The time is right to do it now
The greatest rock and roll swindle
The time is right to do it now
The time is right for Nickey s Special
The greatest rock and roll star
The time is right for me now
I kill
