What does it mean? What does anything mean?
Sending out signals I see the smoke screens
What is not dirty? What is not clean?
What should we not hear? What shouldn't be seen?
Running off verbals like a runaway truck
Who censors the censor? Can I do that myself?
Make up my own mind like anyone else
Forget me, forget me not, remember me like acid drops
Mind over morals, anything banned
The zealots are marching with Bible in hand
Keyed to the roof one hundred proof
Some of them hairpins, some of them clams
Desperate Susan's, desperate Dans
Who censors the censor? Can I do that myself?
Make up my own mind like anyone else
You read but missed the plot, you only see that what is not
These are clueless, living in fear
Scared of their own sex or anything clear
Still looking down proboscis crown
Vague hope and no charity, welcome to the 21st century
The hush puppy hushes, a dummy dumb struck
What is bad language? What shouldn't be heard?
Or used as a token or used as a word
What is not dirty? What is not clean?
What is not filthy? What is obscene?
Who censors the censor? Can I do that myself?
Make up my own mind like anyone else
Forget me, forget me not, remember me like acid drops
Different colors, different style
Different cultures, these blend in a while
Prejudice prods through a big picket fence
Divided we fall without a defense
The seat of easement, the privy parliament
Petticoat merchants bent on intent
There everywhere, these tricks of the trade
Some in the light, some in the shade
Public Image Ltd. (PIL), short for Public Image Limited, is a British musical group formed in London in 1978 by singer and frontman John Lydon, better known as Johnny Rotten for his time with the Sex Pistols. After the dissolution of the Pistols, Lydon decided to form PIL with the aim of exploring new musical territories, abandoning punk rage in favor of a more experimental and introspective sound. PIL has gone through several stylistic phases throughout its career, moving from aggressive post-punk to electronic rhythms, influenced by reggae and dub sounds. Among the band's most representative songs are "Rise", "This Is Not a Love Song" and "Public Image". The self-titled debut album (1978) is considered a classic of post-punk, while "Metal Box" (1979) is an even more experimental and innovative work. PIL has had a significant impact on alternative music of the 1980s and continues to be a cult band for its fans.
