"GOD SAVE THE QUEEN" Sex Pistols
Hello my bloggers ! Today I put an article about de song "God save the queen" of the Sex pistol a punk group of music. I think that they have a message for you, young people ! So, good reading !
Context:
« God save the queen »
is the second single of the Sex Pistols who is a punk rock music
group. The track was released during the 25th accession of the throne
of the Queen Elisabeth II. In 1977, the track reached the second
position of the britain hit parade. The lyrics and the image on the
cover did controversy and the song was removed to the BBC.
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.
Lyrics:
-"God
save the queen" → It's a criticism of the political regim so of the
monarchy, they saiy that the England ist racist and fascist. It's
also a reference of the English hymn.
-"The
fascist regime" → It's a direct attack to the contested power
-"They
made you a moron" → Because of the government the population became
a moron
-"She
ain't no human being" → It's a dehumanization of the Queen
-"Don't
be told what you want" → They want a
total and individual liberty, that nobody dictate the laws or have
the power
Don't
be told what you need
-"When
there's no future" → For them the future is a problem. Leave for
today, makes them more free, so more happy. It resume with the
sentence « No future »
-"In
England's dreaming" → It's to show that the England it's all but not
magical it's ironic.
