Sex Pistols “Anarchy In The UK”, 1976

I am an anti-Christ
I am an anarChist
Don’t know what I want, but I know how to get it
I wanna destroy
the pass-er-by cause
I
Wanna be
Anarchy

Anarchy for the UK
It’s coming sometime, and maybe
I give a wrong time, stop a traffic line
Your future dream is a shop-ping 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 en-e-my
I use..An-Ar-Chy
‘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

And I…
Wanna be…
An anarchist.

Again
Pissed
Destroy
