God Save The Queen -- Sex Pistols


God save the queen her fascist regime  it made you a moron a potential H bomb
God save the queen she ain't no human being  there is no future in England's dreaming  Don't be told what you want don't be told what you need
there's no future no future no future for you

God save the queen we mean it man (god save window leen)
we love our queen god saves (god save... human beings)
God save the queen cos tourists are money  and our figurehead is not what she seems  Oh god save history god save your mad parade
Oh lord god have mercy all crimes are paid

When there's no future how can there be sin  we're the flowers in the dustbin
we're the poison in your human machine  we're the future your future
God save the queen we mean it man  there is no future in England's dreaming
No future for you No future for me  No future no future for you           (sing365)

This song is about rebelling against British politics. A lot of young people felt alienated by the stifling rule of the old-fashioned royal monarchy. The Queen (Queen Elizabeth), was their symbol.  
The British national anthem is called "God Save The Queen." This mocks it in a big way, which did not go over well with English royalty.                                    (songfacts)

Elizabeth II ( born 21 April 1926) is the constitutional monarch of 16 sovereign states known as theCommonwealth realms, and head of the 54-member Commonwealth of Nations. In her specific role as the monarch of the United Kingdom, one of her 16 realms, she is also Supreme Governor of the Church of England.
Her father acceded to the throne as George VI in 1936 on the abdication of his brother Edward VIII. She began to undertake public duties during the Second World War, in which she served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service. On the death of her father in 1952, she became Head of the Commonwealth and queen regnant of seven independent Commonwealth countries: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon. Her coronation service in 1953 was the first to be televised. Between 1956 and 1992, the number of her realms varied as territories gained independence and some realms became republics. Today, in addition to the first four aforementioned countries, Elizabeth is Queen of Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada,Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
Revelations continued on the state of Charles's marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales, and they divorced in 1996. The following year, Diana died in a Paris car crash, and the media criticised the royal family for remaining in seclusion in the days before her funeral. Elizabeth's personal popularity rebounded after she appeared in public and has subsequently remained high.  Her reign of 60 years is the second-longest for a British monarch; only Queen Victoria has reigned longer. Her Silver and Golden Jubileeswere celebrated in 1977 and 2002; her Diamond Jubilee is being celebrated during 2012.                                  (wikipedia)
