Same old story


Some people got more kicks than halfpence
Crying for attention, like cracks in the pavement
All of this pointed, like perfect TV
When you're sowing the wind, you reap the whirlwind

Your flexible nature, serving no purpose
Like a terrible artist, your using no shadow
The king of this castle, is pulling new shades
Gilding the lilies, and all of them fakes

Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins
Same old story
Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins
Same old story, same old story

Typical tragic, small house and small street
Narrow the outlook, small minded complete
The emperor's new clothes, get clearer and clearer
Dictate to the fingers, that tighten the trigger

Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins
Same old story
Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins
Same old story, same old story, same old story

And the king of this castle is pulling new shapes
Life is a poison, it begins at home
Pride is a trinket, security blanket
Tangle the spiders on the webs that we weave

Who gets the mansions?
Same old story
We get the ruins

Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins
Same old story
Who gets the mansions? We get the ruins
Same old story

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

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.
