[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 ain't nothing new
But we all get cash from the chaos

[Chorus]
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)

[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 seventy five thousand pounds
[Chorus]
(The time is right to do it now)
The time is right to fuck it up
(The greatest rock and roll swindle)
The greatest rock and roll swindle
(The time is right to do it now)
The time is right to do it now
(The time is right to do it now)
The time is right to fuck it up
(The greatest rock and roll swindle)
The greatest rock and roll swindle
(The time is right to do it now)
The time is right to do it now

[Verse 3]
I just want to play with my band
Are you good enough for me
Higher boys I'm the chosen one
Can't ya fucking 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
I'll give you my life

[Chorus]
(The time is right to do it now)
The time is right for Nickey's Special
(The greatest rock and roll swindle)
The greatest rock and roll star
(The time is right to do it now)
The time is right for me now
I kill
[Chorus]
