Intro

C Am F G (x2)

Verse 1

Through the best of times, through the worst of times
Through Nixon and through Bush
Do you remember '36, we went our separate ways, you fought for Stalin
I fought for freedom
You believe in authority, I believe in myself
I'm a Molotov cocktail, you're the Dom Perignon. Baby, what's that
confused look in your eyes, what I'm trying to say is that
I'll burn down buildings while you sit on a shelf
Inside of them
You call the cops on the looters and pie throwers
C G/B Am F G C*
They call it class war, I call you co-conspirators

Chorus

'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist, you're a spineless liberal
We marched together for the eight-hour day and held hands on the streets of Seattle
But when it came time to throw bricks through that Starbucks window
You left me all alone
All alone

Instrumental

(C) Am F G
    

Verse 2

You watched in awe at the red, white and blue
On the Fourth of July
While those fireworks were exploding
F*
I was burning that fucker and stringing my black flag high
Eating the peanuts that the parties have tossed you
In the backseat of your father's new Ford
You believe in the ballot
You believe in reform
You have faith in the elephant and the 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 was screaming "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 
C*
And marry the state

Chorus

'Cause baby, I'm an anarchist, and you're a spineless liberal
We marched together for the eight-hour day and held hands on the streets of Seattle
But when it came time to throw bricks through that Starbucks window
You left me all alone
C*
All alone
