Pretty Vacant Lyrics
There's no point in asking us you'll get no reply
Oh just remenber a don't decide
I got no reason it's all too much
you'll always find us
Out to lunch !
Oh we're so pretty oh so pretty VACANT
but now AND WE DON'T CARE
Don't ask us to attend cos we're not all there
Oh don't pretend cos I don't care
I don't believe illusions cos too much is real
so stop your cheap comment
cos we know what we feel
We're pretty pretty vacant
We're pretty pretty vay-CUNT
And we don't care
"your all fucking disgusting. plain and simple. i garuntee you if you said johnny rotten was a bloody punk to his face he'd spit in yours.do you really think he'd associate himself with the douche bags who call themselves punks. think on that for a tick"
Hehe....may'be...nowadays his passport probably says "Reality TV show contestant/Wildlife Presenter". I am not criticising him for it, if we are stupid enough to continually worry about whether John Lydon is a sell out then why should he be concerned. He never asked to be the spokesperson for a generation - they were a truly great band that went against the grain, woke everyone up and alongside a few others, opened the door for everyone else. Does the punk semantic debate really really matter ?
It's basically an anthem of teenage apathy. You don't want to listen to anyone, you don't bother thinking about your future, you don't feel like really doing anything constructive with yourself. And most of all, you don't care.
this pretty much describes everyone at my school.
This song, somehow, has always reminded me of clueless rich girls that know nothing about anything (and don't care about anything) except superficial things like their appearance and money.
I love the way that Rotten sings this song and I like the way that the guitar is played on here. This is my favorite Pistols song.
I agree with @indie10 . I always felt it was about the fashion industry (the body-conscious models paid to sell it, the smug, shallow people who could afford it); by extension, that included the whole teen rock/pop industry that, since the early to mid seventies, had begun to replace rhythm, blues and the rebel roots of rock and roll.

— Turns out it was inspired by The Bay City Rollers. So I think @indie10 hit the nail on the head and may rest his/her case.
