[Verse 2]
You watched in

While those fi

Eating the pea
nuts that the
parties have t
ossed you
In the backsea
t of your fath
er's new Ford
You believe in
the ballot
You believe in
reform
You have faith
in the elepha
nt and the jac
kass
And to you sol
idarity's a fo
ur letter word
We're all hypo
crites but you
're a patriot
You thought I
was only jokin
g
When I was scr
eaming "kill w
hitey" at the
top of my lung
s
At the cops in
their cars an
d the men in t
heir suits
No, I won't ta
ke your hand
And marry the
state
[Chorus]
'Cause baby, I
'm an anarchis
t, and you're
a spineless li
beral
We marched tog
ether for the
eight-hour day
and held hand
s on the stree
ts of Seattle
But when it ca
me time to thr
ow bricks thro
ugh that Starb
ucks window
You left me al
l alone
All alone
