[Verse 1]
G#5
People said we couldn't play
They called us foul-mouthed yobs
A#5
But the only notes that really count
Are the ones that come in wads
G#5
They all drowned when the air turned blue
Cause we didn't give a toss
A#5
Filthy lucre, isn't nothing new
[Chorus]
D#5 A#5
The time is right to do it now
C5 A#5 G#5
The greatest rock and roll swindle
D#5 A#5 D#5 A#5
The time is right to do it now
[Verse 2]
G#5
E.M.I. said you are out of hand
And they gave us the boot
A#5
But they couldn't sack us, just like that
Without giving us the loot
G#5
Thank you kindly A & M
They said we were out of bounds
A#5
But that isn't bad for two weeks work
[Chorus]
D#5 A#5
The time is right to do it now
C5 A#5 G#5
The greatest rock and roll swindle
D#5 A#5 D#5 A#5
The time is right to do it now
[Chorus]
D#5 A#5
The time is right to do it now
C5 A#5 G#5
The greatest rock and roll swindle
D#5 A#5 D#5 A#5
The time is right to do it now
[Verse 3]
G#5
I just want to play with my band
Are you good enough for me
A#5
Hiya boys I'm the chosen one
Can't you fucking see
G#5
I'm a jealous god and I want everything
And I love you with a knife
A#5
I'll take you, if you're ready for me
[Chorus]
D#5 A#5
The time is right to do it now
C5 A#5 G#5
The greatest rock and roll swindle
D#5 A#5 D#5 A#5
The time is right to do it now
[Chorus]
D#5 A#5
The time is right for Nickey's Special
C5 A#5 G#5
The greatest rock and roll star
D#5 A#5 D#5
The time is right for me now
A#5
I kill
