P. I. L. Essentials

A new rock song I've been working on. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Yeah, look around, let it resonate,
No love left, just numbers and hate. 
They profit off pity, they patent despair, 
This system ain’t broken, it never was fair.

I might know that I’m screwed, but I keep goin’, 
Rain fallin’ hard, and I still keep rowin’. 
Every man’s got a price, every liar’s got a plan, 
They sellin’ salvation to the desperate man.

Truth’s outta stock, but they’ll sell you pride, 
I just roll down this road, no mask to hide. 
The world’s on fire, I smell the proof, 
But hell, I still believe in somethin’ true...

I guess there’s just not enough love, 
(Not enough, not enough)
But I keep on goin’, I don’t back down, 
Through the smoke that surrounds.
I just play my song and stand, 
‘Cause there’s just not enough love. 
(Not enough, not enough)
Oh no

The world’s one big mess, like it’s always been, 
Money’s the gospel, and the preacher’s sin. 
They call it progress, but you’re still in danger,
Ain’t much compassion left for a stranger.

They say money don’t change you, it just reveals 
Who you were when you couldn’t afford to feel 
I’ve been real since the rent came due 
Now I sing like I got nothin’ left to lose

Seen a thousand hearts break in line, 
Still I pour that whiskey and call it fine. 
Ain’t no saints in these small-town bars, 
Just dreamers nursin’ busted scars. 
Still I walk, still I shout, still I laugh,
No preacher’s words can smooth my path.

Maybe there’s just enough love  
(Just enough, just enough…)
Keep the lights on, fake the trust  
While the world keep turnin’ rough  
You gotta stand your ground, 
Maybe there’s enough love to go around. 
(Just enough, just enough…)

Maybe there’s still some love left  
Buried deep enough…
(Just enough, just enough…)
(Just enough, just enough…)

After fronting the Sex Pistols, John Lydon formed post-punk originators Public Image Ltd (PiL). Widely regarded as one of the most innovative bands of all time, their music and vision earned them 5 UK Top 20 Singles and 5 UK Top 20 Albums.
 
With a shifting line-up and unique sound – fusing rock, dance, folk, pop and dub – Lydon guided the band from their debut album ‘First Issue’ in 1978 through to 1992’s ‘That What Is Not’, before a 17 year hiatus.
 
Lydon reactivated PiL in 2009 – re-recruiting Lu Edmonds and Bruce Smith from the 1980’s line-up together with new recruit Scott Firth – touring extensively and releasing two critically acclaimed albums ‘This is PiL’ in 2012 followed by ‘What The World Needs Now…’ in 2015.
 
John Lydon, Lu Edmonds, Scott Firth and Bruce Smith continue as PiL. They are the longest stable line-up in the band’s history and continue to challenge and thrive.
 
2023 promises to be an exciting year for PiL…
