It really sucks because I love their first 3 albums, but many of the band members are clowns, especially this guy.
I have to separate the personalities from the product to be able to continue enjoying the songs I like. It's like separating Trump's personality to focus on the job he was doing.
Ironically, the most based of them all is Johnny Rotten. He's the last one I expected to call support for political conservatism, but we are living in the upside-down clown world so anything's possible at this point!
For a bunch of people who claim to go against the system, they sure are a bunch of followers. Just like every other "movement", musical or otherwise, they end up with their own rules to follow and a different conformity arises.
Ignition is my favorite. There's a song on there called No Hero about suicide and how the guy dealing with it tried to stop it from happening but couldn't. They used to have poignant and powerful music. Not sure if they were always like this or if along the way they allowed fame to morph them into establishment bootlickers. So much for being "punk rock"....
Once you said you'd stick to it until the end
I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that you couldn't find a way to carry on
Second guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had
Johnny was a weirdo so
What did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
I should have known, you went through it alone
I wonder why, Did you even try?
You could have come to me
I would have helped you see
You could have found a way to carry on
Second guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had
Johnny was a weirdo so
What did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
'Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off,' they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day
Little things, little lives hanging 'til the end
I say it doesn't really mean nothing
Telling truth, telling lies
I used to have a friend
I say it don't really mean nothing
And I can't let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this feeling go
Let this, Let it go
Once you said you'd stick to it until the end
I guess you lied, they call it suicide
Now you're gone
What was so wrong that you couldn't find a way to carry on
Second guess
Did I do my best
There was a friend I had
Johnny was a weirdo so
What did you expect?
I ain't no fucking hero
I'm just trying to survive myself
Johnny's strange behavior was a tip-off, they say
But I ain't no fucking savior
I'm just living day by day

Smash was a favorite of mine and the lead singer has always been an intelligent guy, so its really too bad.... oh well...
Get woke, go broke.
