Public Image Lyrics
Hello, hello, hello (ha, ha, ha)
You never listen to a word that I said
You only seen me
For the clothes that I wear
Or did the interest go so much deeper
It must have been
The colour of my hair
The Public Image
What you wanted was never made clear
Behind the image was ignorance and fear
You hide behind this public machine
Still follow same old scheme
Public Image
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
I will not be treated as property
Public Image
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
It’s not a game of monopoly
Public image
Public image
You got what you wanted
The public image belongs to me
It's my entrance
My own creation
My grand finale
My goodbye
Public image
Goodbye
You only seen me
For the clothes that I wear
Or did the interest go so much deeper
It must have been
The colour of my hair
The Public Image
What you wanted was never made clear
Behind the image was ignorance and fear
You hide behind this public machine
Still follow same old scheme
Public Image
Two sides to every story
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
I will not be treated as property
Public Image
Somebody had to stop me
I'm not the same as when I began
It’s not a game of monopoly
You got what you wanted
The public image belongs to me
It's my entrance
My own creation
My grand finale
My goodbye
Goodbye

PiL does ROCK! This was their first single release and was written by Lydon while he was still with the Sex Pistols. It was supposed to be an attack on the Sex Pistol's manager Malcom McLaren and his mismanagement of Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols. Lydon later had sued McLaren to get all legal rights to the Sex Pistols stuff in 1987.
