I used to believe that the lyric to Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols was
'I wanna destroy Piss supply'
the actual lyric is 'I wanna destroy passerby'
A childhood belief about misheard lyrics
others believed things like this
- I thought tornados were monsters,and that they called out the national guard to destroy it.— Ben J.Grimm
- I used to sing at the top of my voice "OLD GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN"— claire
- I always wondered why shepherds washed their socks by night. (correct lyric: watched their flocks)— MaggieNJ
- A common misheard lyric in BMTH’s ‘Shadow Moses’ is “THIS IS SANDPIT TURTLE!”— Oli
- My sister just recently realized that the lyric "more than a woman" wasn't 4 letter woman!— Anne
- My brothers to piss me off sometimes told me I was adopted, and that I was the housekeeper's kid.— ricolarno
