Episode 143 In this Arteetude podcast, on behalf of John Lydon, Detlef Schlich performs his campfire version of God Save the Queen by Sex Pistols. Former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon has said it is "tasteless" to endorse requests in connection with the band's punk anthem God Save The Queen after the monarch's death. Lydon, known by his stage name Johnny Rotten, wrote the lyrics to the 1977 hit which was released during the monarch's Silver Jubilee, before being banned by the BBC.
Lyrics
God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
A potential H bomb
God save the queen
She's not a human being
and There's no future
And England's dreaming
Don't be told what you want
Don't be told 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 saves
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
Oh 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
God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves
God save the queen
We mean it man
There's no future
In England's dreaming God save the queen
No future
No future
No future for you
No future
No future
No future for me
No future
No future
No future for you
The Sex Pistols were an English punk rock band that was formed in London in 1975. Although their initial career lasted just two and a half years, they are one of the most groundbreaking acts in the history of popular music. They were responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians. Their fashion and hairstyles were a significant influence on punk image, and they are often associated with anarchism within the music.
