Theme
A cover of the iconic Sex Pistols punk anthem. The song expresses extreme nihilism and anti-establishment sentiment, advocating for chaos and the destruction of the existing social and political order. Megadeth's version translates the punk aggression into thrash metal speed and precision.
Lyrics
Right! Now ha, ha
I am an anti-Christ
I am an anarchist,
Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I want to destroy the passer by
'Cause I want to be anarchy,
Ho dogs body
Anarchy for the UK
It's coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time stop a traffic line
Your future dream is a shopping scheme
'Cause I want to be anarchy,
It's in the city
How many ways to get what you want
I use the best I use the rest
I use the enemy
I use anarchy
'Cause I want to be anarchy,
Its 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 want to be an anarchist
(Oh what a name)
And I want to be an anarchist
(I get pissed destroy)
