God Save the Queen
Hard Rock Sofa vs. Sex Pistols Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

God save the queen
The fascist regime
They made you a moron
A potential H bomb

God save the queen
She ain't no human being
And there's no future
And England's dreaming

Don't be told what you want
And 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
We love our queen
God saves

God save the queen
'Cause 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

Oh when there's no future
How can there be sin
We're the flowers
In the dustbin
We're the poison
In the human machine
We're the future
Your future

God save the queen
We mean it man
We love our queen
God saves

God save the queen
We mean it man
There is no future
In England's dreaming

No future
No future
No future for you

No future
No future
No future for me

No future
No future
No future for you





No future, no future for you

Overall Meaning

The song "God Save The Queen" by Hard Rock Sofa vs. Sex Pistols is a punk rock anthem that voices the frustrations of the youth in England during the late 1970s. It begins by calling out the fascist regime for their actions, which have made the people of England feel like morons and potential H bombs. The lyrics then continue with a satirical tone, criticizing the concept of a queen who is not even considered human and the idea of a future, which the youth believed did not exist. The song ends with a bleak picture of a society that is built on tourism and false appearances, where history is being destroyed and crimes go unpunished.


Throughout the song, there is a clear message of rebelliousness and a call to action for the youth to rise up against the oppressive regime. It denounces the idea of blindly following authority and instead advocates for individuality and freedom of thought. The reference to the flowers in the dustbin and the poison in the human machine suggests that the youth of England are the ones who will shape the future, not the stale and corrupt establishment.
