Someone had to do it
The song hit #1 on one Brit chart though only hit #2 on the “official” one but may have been intentionally demoted. It was banned by the BBC.
John Lydon (Rotten) said he wasn’t saying he hated her, only the institution.
Song is a savage bit of rock n roll.
Lydon:”You don’t write ‘God Save the Queen’ because you hate the English race. You write a song like that because you love them, and you’re fed up with them being mistreated.” He intended to evoke sympathy for the English working class and a general resentment towards the monarchy.—Wikipedia
Sorry my comment caused you such butthurt, but just because King Henry created fraudulent monarchies and religions out of his nasty UNDERWEAR, doesn’t mean I need to play along.
So fk your fake monarchy and welfare queens.
Power shouldn’t be transferred like an STD. QE might have been a good person, but the whole system is dumb.
Okay, you’re ignorant and listened to shitty music when you were growing up, so it’s not your fault, but Lydon was not being “sarcastic” or tongue-in-cheek when he wrote that.
Sentimentalists who swoon over false monarch really are MORONS.
“Sorry my comment caused you such butthurt, but just because King Henry created fraudulent monarchies and religions out of his nasty UNDERWEAR, doesn’t mean I need to play along.”
butthurt??? nasty underwear???
You have serious issues, even at your triple A best. Regret ever posting to you.
“Power shouldn’t be transferred like an STD.”
In other words, you would refuse to accept what your parents will give you in their will?
They didn’t put me in charge of country in their will. There’s a big difference between inheriting some money or even a company and being The Queen.
No, you said power should not be transferred. Any kind of wealth is power.
And again, how are the British monarchs any worse than some of our presidents; Biden, for example. He is a commoner, for sure, and rose to power minus any talents whatsoever.
As a Brit said once after Clinton passed a huge tax bill. “You Yanks did not like taxation without representation, now how do you like it with it?”
The song is truth today.
Opus?
Wealth doesn’t have to be power. Paris Hilton doesn’t wield any power.
Doesn’t matter if they’re better or worse. The problem is the only reason monarchs are monarchs is because of who begat them. That’s wrong. It’s a bad system. It’s a stupid system. It should end.
Try reading Daniel 2:21.
Try reading it yourself. It can easily be seen as showing that our move away from monarchy was God’s will. Controlled the course or world events, removed the kings, set us up do have something better by giving wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars. Just because the people being given the scripture didn’t understand a form other government other than monarchy does mean we have to stick to it. The times and seasons changed. Way past time to put monarchy on the ash heap of history.
Our move away, but not the abolition.
And there was a sizable faction who wanted Washington crowned king too. He refused and sided with the republicans.
I see you refused to read Daniel 2:21. God Himself sets up monarchies and disestablishes ones that fight against Him. Also read 2 Samuel 1:1-16 and see what David did to an Amalekite who claimed he killed King Saul.
Abolish it, it’s stupid. It encourages tyranny. And the half assed version is in England just costs money.
I DID read it. And I explained why the move away from monarchy is right there in it. You ignored me. If you’re not going to read what I write don’t reply to it, it’s rude.
Nope - still here.
But you’re still an idiot, who thinks the book of Daniel somehow allowed depraved murderer and adulterer King Henry to start a fake monarchy AND religion of his own making.
You know what form of government the comminists preach? Democracy. And they have ruled over the bloodiest tyrannies in human history.
If you read the verse I referred to, then WADR you must have not undersood it; the right of establishing and disestablishing kingdoms rests with God alone. The Declaration of Independence, furthermore, said we the people had the right to abolish tyrannies abd did not specify any form of government.
Communism is a dictatorship. So no they don’t preach democracy.
I understand it just fine. You’re the one using part of it to excuse the divine right of kings. But what the verse SAYS is that what happens is God’s will. Everybody thinking that verse says kings should be there is ignoring the fact that “he removeth kings” come BEFORE “setteth up kings”. The verse is saying that if the king gets deposed, that’s God’s will. And that if the people (with the wise and the scholars) decide they’re done with having kings ALSO God’s will. Remember God helps those who help themselves. The PEOPLE get to depose the kings, or at least try, whether or not they SUCCEED, is a function of God. But the WORK of it, that’s up to us.
