1977 in the U.K.

by Quinn Vokes

Hold your picket signs high
It's time they listened to us
"Anarchy's the only way!
Democracy'll die any day!"

"If only they would listen,"
we disgruntled people say,
"But the governments has everything.
Even the food for which we pay."

Anarcy would be so much better,
No more orders form an unknown source.
I'm so sick of this "all for one, one for all" crap.
Don't they see it's every man for himself?

But who am i kidding, anyway?
I know it could never work.
Johnny Rotten stand down
We did the best we knew how
It's time to riot for "Punk Rights!"

..for which listening no doubt Mr. Rotten was grateful..actually very pithy interweaving of the ear and your imagination here, Quinn..and quite well done, as my cousins across the Pond would say!

LOL! One of the main foundations of rock n' roll has always been rebellion. Ah, 1977. I still have the LP, Never My the Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols, though I've always preferred The Vibrators or The Clash.
