God save the king!
I was listening to the Sex Pistols on my way to work today and was thinking that when Johnny Rotten sings "God Save the Queen", you can feel the anger and hatred in his voice. I then started thinking that I now know the anger and hatred that he was feeling as he wrote and sang that song...I have never hated anyone or anything like I hate Bush and his gang of criminals. The power in this song (and the album) really hit me today, as we are now experiencing the effects of a crooked "royal family" who only cares about themselves.

God Save the little boy king...


"God Save The King"

God save the King
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb

God save the King
He ain't no human being
There is no future
In America'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 King
We mean it man
We love our King
God saves

God save the King
'Cause tourists are money
And our figurehead
Is not what he seems

Oh God save history
God save your mad parade
Oh Lord God have mercy
All crimes are paid

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, you're future

God save the King
We mean it man
We love our king
God saves

God save the king
We mean it man
And there is no future
In America'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
For you

1. I remember
Hearing that in high school back in '82.It's very appropriate.So are alot of the things we used to listen to back then.Dead kennedys come to mind.The world may be running out of chances,but we gotta keep trying.We can't stop trying.It made me so happy when johnny Rotten wouldn't show up for the hall of fame thing.Be what you are,Johnny.

2. it actually wasn't really against the queen
Just her role she's thrust into in society. A person turned into a figurehead for the sake of money and tourism.
It has little relevence to George Bush.
