Baby, I'm An Anarchist! Lyrics - Singles - Against Me!

Through the best of times, 

Through the worst of times, 

Through Nixon and through Bush, 

Do you remember '36? 

We went our seperate ways. 

You fought for Stalin. 

I fought for freedom. 

You believe in authority. 

I believe in myself. 

I'm a molotov cocktail. 

You're Dom Perignon. 

Baby, what's that confused look in your eyes? 

What I'm trying to say is that 

I burn down buildings 

While you sit on a shelf inside of them. 

You call the cops 

On the looters and piethrowers. 

They call it class war, 

I call it co-conspirators. 

'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist, 

You're a spineless liberal. 

We marched together for the eight-hour day 

And held hands in the streets of Seattle, 

But when it came time to throw bricks 

Through that Starbucks window, 

You left me all alone. 

You watched in awe at the red, 

White, and blue on the fourth of july. 

While those fireworks were exploding, 

I was burning that fucker 

And stringing my black flag high, 

Eating the peanuts 

That the parties have tossed you 

In the back seat of your father's new Ford. 

You believe in the ballot, 

Believe in reform. 

You have faith in the elephant and jackass, 

And to you, solidarity's a four-letter word. 

We're all hypocrites, 

But you're a patriot. 

You thought I was only joking 

When I screamed "Kill Whitey!" 

At the top of my lungs 

At the cops in their cars 

And the men in their suits. 

No, I won't take your hand 

And marry the State. 

'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist, 

You're a spineless liberal. 

We marched together for the eight-hour day 

And held hands in the streets of Seattle, 

But when it came time to throw bricks 

Through that Starbucks window, 

You left me all alone.
