God Save the Queen
Bollocks Lyrics

God save the queen
An ironic demand to save the authoritarian figurehead who is not the savior of England.

The fascist regime
The political system governed by dictatorial leaders suppressing individual freedom and liberty.

They made you a moron
The authorities control people's minds and turn them into ignorant and unthinking people.

A potential H bomb
Those in power have created a society full of intelligent, but uneducated people who could become a destructive force.

She's not a human being
The queen is presented as a worthless figurehead, not a real human with empathy and concern for her subjects.

There's no future
The bleak, oppressive present of England underpins the fact that there is no better future.

And England's dreaming
A sarcastic reference to the lack of hope and thinking within the English society.

Don't be told what you want
People should be encouraged to take their own decisions and not be instructed on how to think or what to pursue.

Don't be told what you need
The government, media and corporations should not dictate what people should believe or consume.

No future for you
The establishment has betrayed younger generations with their greed, neglect and lack of foresight.

We mean it man
The song's sentiments are real and not intended as an empty statement.

God saves
An affirmation that divinity will triumph over oppressive regimes.

Because tourists are money
The queen is valuable solely because of the money she generates in the form of tourism revenue.

And our figurehead Is not what she seems
The queen is a superficial emblem, covering corruption and emptiness.

Oh God save history
An appeal for learning from the past, preventing repeating past mistakes and holding present leaders accountable.

God save your mad parade
A sarcastic call to save flashy, pointless displays of authority and military might.

All crimes are paid
Justice systems are corrupt and servile to those in power.

We're the flowers in the dustbin
The lower classes that are cast off by society have value and beauty despite being ignored.

We're the poison in your human machine
The lower classes' cynicism and anger threaten the status quo's control and smooth functionality.

We're the future, Your future
The marginalized and oppressed represent the only hope for a better future.

No future for me
Personal hopelessness reflects the lack of hope in society as a whole.
