Right now
I am an antichrist
And I am an anarchist
Don’t know what I want
But I know how to get it
I want to destroy passerby
‘Cause I wanna be anarchy
No dogsbody
Anarchy for the U.K.
It’s coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time, stop a traffic line
Your future dream is a shopping scheme
‘Cause I, I wanna be anarchy
In the city
How many ways to get what you want
I use the best, I use the rest
I use the NME
I use anarchy
‘Cause I wanna be anarchy
It’s the only way to be
Is this the MPLA?
Or is this the UDA?
Or is this the IRA?
I thought it was the UK
Or just another country
Another council tenancy
I wanna be anarchy
And I wanna be anarchy
Know what I mean?
And I want to be an anarchist
I get pissed, destroy
