Low Life Lyrics
Ego-maniac traitor
You never did understand
You fell in love with your ego
It did not fit into plan
Low Life
Your alter-ego is a moron
30 years too late
No closet is private
Can see the crack in your face
Low Life
Bourgeois Anarchist
I read you despise us
Always hurt the one you love
Shit in a drain
Low Life
Ego-maniac traitor
You are a fool to yourself
You lie to be distant
Ignorant selfish
Low Life
Low Life
Ego-maniac traitor
You never did understand
You fell in love with your ego
It did not fit into plan
Low life
Your alter-ego is a moron
30 years too late
No closet is private
See the crack in your face
Low Life
Bourgeois Anarchist
I read you despise us
Always hurt the one you love
You shit your brain
You never did understand
You fell in love with your ego
It did not fit into plan
30 years too late
No closet is private
Can see the crack in your face
I read you despise us
Always hurt the one you love
Shit in a drain
You are a fool to yourself
You lie to be distant
Ignorant selfish
You never did understand
You fell in love with your ego
It did not fit into plan
30 years too late
No closet is private
See the crack in your face
I read you despise us
Always hurt the one you love
You shit your brain

Why is no one commenting on the mighty PIL. I like this song it grew on me.
I can't see how this could be directed at anyone other than Malcolm MacLaren. Especially: "Bourgeois Anarchist."
Was about Sid
sounds like its about all those pop/rock stars with big egos with are doing stuff that's "30 years too late"
THAT are doing stuff that's "30 years too late" not "with are doing stuff" silly typo!
even though it might not be, it kinda fits, i just really want this to be about sid vicious
"Why is no one commenting on the mighty PIL. "
Because everyone today is busy listening to Coldplay and stuff :(
The single "Public Image" was widely seen as being about Malcolm McLaren and his "so-called" manipulation of Lydon/Rotten during his career with the Sex Pistols. It was supposedly written before the Pistols broke up. The track "Low Life" (with its accusatory lyrics of "Egomaniac traitor", "You fell in love with your ego" and "Bourgeoisie anarchist") has also been seen as an attack on McLaren, although Lydon has specifically stated that those lyrics refer to Sid Vicious.
