There's unlimited supply
And there is no reason why
I tell you it was all a frame
They only did it 'cause of fame, who?
E.M.I., E.M.I., E.M.I.
Too many people had the sus
Too many people support us
An unlimited amount
Too many outlets in and out, who?
E.M.I., E.M.I., E.M.I.
And sir and friends are crucified
A day they wished that we had died
We are an addition
We are ruled by none
Never ever never
And you thought that we were faking
That we were all just money making
You do not believe we're for real
Or you would lose your cheap appeal?
Don't judge a book just by the cover
Unless you cover just another
And blind acceptance is a sign
A stupid fools who stand in line
Like
E.M.I. E.M.I. E.M.I.
Unlimited edition
With an unlimited supply
That was the only reason
We all had to say goodbye
Unlimited supply E.M.I
There is no reason why E.M.I.
I tell you it was all a frame E.M.I.
They only did it 'cause of fame E.M.I.
I do not need the pressure E.M.I.
I can't stand the useless fools E.M.I.
Unlimited supply E.M.I.
Hallo E.M.I., goodbye A & M
And there is no reason why
I tell you it was all a frame
They only did it 'cause of fame, who?
E.M.I., E.M.I., E.M.I.
Too many people had the sus
Too many people support us
An unlimited amount
Too many outlets in and out, who?
E.M.I., E.M.I., E.M.I.
And sir and friends are crucified
A day they wished that we had died
We are an addition
We are ruled by none
Never ever never
And you thought that we were faking
That we were all just money making
You do not believe we're for real
Or you would lose your cheap appeal?
Don't judge a book just by the cover
Unless you cover just another
And blind acceptance is a sign

My Pistols history is a bit rough, but I think that they were first signed by EMI, who dropped them after a ridiculously short amount of time (like a day or something). Then they were signed by A & M, who kept them long enough to record a version of God Save the Queen, but they were again shortly dropped. I might have got the two labels mixed up though. Finally Virgin Records signed them, and released their classic debut album and the famous 'drawing pin' picture sleeve version of God Save the Queen. So this song is taunting EMI for signing the Pistols because of their celebrity alone, and then dropping them when they actually discovered what they were like.
Spot on old boy.<br /> <br /> It's not like they ever hid what they were like, I guess EMI just thought it was an act for stage... Little did they know these young cockney lads were about to start a revolution.
