Taken for a ride
I know I said I'd rescue you
But their troops had taken hold
At last you're not alone in that city
Am I safer, here in the cold?
These bombs and bullets at night
You wear like jewelry
That seems to be the difference
Between you and me
Let's hope it's not a grave
No war is worth it, without you
No point in living without you
I know you feel the way I do
It's not a real world without you
Let's hope it's not a grave
I heard some friends got taken for a ride
A one way journey, everybody died
It's not unusual, many go that way
Their numbers mounting every single day
But what can I do but hope you're still alive
This is what happens when opposites collide
Public, and private, arbitrary death
'Cause war is power and power is business
We are but numbers, statistics on a sheet
This is what happens whenever humans meet
No need for fingers, we know who to blame
Intolerance will end and start this game
I write this letter while taken for a ride
Maybe I'll see you on the other side
Let's hope it's not a grave
Two fingers crossed, hope it's not a grave
But what can I do but hope you're still alive
This is what happens when opposites collide
Public and private, arbitrary death
'Cause war is power, and power business
These bombs and bullets at night
You wear like jewelry
That seems to be the difference
Between you and me
Hope it's not a grave
John Joseph Lydon, better known as Johnny Rotten, is a British singer and musician born in London in 1956. Famous for his provocative personality and punk music style, he reached the peak of success in the 1970s with the Sex Pistols, a revolutionary band that embodied the rebellious spirit of the punk generation. With their aggressive sound and controversial songs like «Anarchy in the U.K.» and «God Save the Queen», the Sex Pistols sparked a wave of scandal and contributed to defining the aesthetics and culture of the punk movement. After the dissolution of the Sex Pistols in 1978, Lydon founded the post-punk band Public Image Ltd., with whom he explored more experimental and introspective sounds. Public Image Ltd. released several successful albums, including «Metal Box» (1979) and «This Is What You Want... This Is What You Get» (1983). Lydon has remained active in the music world to this day, collaborating with artists like Marianne Faithfull and participating in theatrical projects. His influence on music and popular culture remains significant.
