A.N.A.R.K.I.
I got a letter from the government the other day
I opened it up to read it, but quickly crumpled it up and threw it away
Cause they're suckas, and I ain't down with that
Government is whack, they take tax my paychecks and don't even ask
On top of that, they ain't concerned about the children
Cause kids can't vote, they leave me with no hope, I'm feelin'
Like people should be killin' these evil villains with their lethal dealings for measly shillings
Or dollars, euros, pesos, yen, I could care less
I say we abolish government, the federal reserve can go share the rest
Spread the wealth those who really need it
Instead of writing me letters, when I ain't even gonna read it
I want to know who gave control over me
Over to someone I don't know, way before I was born, my soul is free
Yet my physics remain captive, I never waived my right to be, so let me live
I agree to hold my own, so let go of me, do you not see where I'm coming from?
Nothing is free, I have to work with destructive machinery, just to eat
Furthering the problem, building up a false economy
When I could grow a tree to get all I need
With the weight of the world off my back, I could find peace and release
But instead, government fills our head
With mandatory education designed to keep me braindead
But I'm sorry, my life is not complete
Limited to television screens and paved cement streets
All I really need, is love, but I don't get that
When some self-proclaimed authority reigns supreme in my habitat
I scream give me trust, but all I really see is police ready to bust
Well, I realize it's up to me, therefore I must discuss this fussing and fighting
The ultimate goal for humanity is to be free, so from this enlightened understanding
I refused to be the under man, any longer
You might be fatter, stronger, but I'm not frightened that doesn't matter
As long as you continue to manipulate my hunger
I've had enough
Do you like laws that imprison those
Driven by the incision of injustice that wounds them?
Capitalism is only a religion, based on a decision to switch gods again
From Christians to Buddhism to Islam, morality isn't God, it's money instead!
So raise a fist to resist this capitalist bullshit
You get the gist, I'm an anarchist
I see cities, reduced to communities filled with trees
Governed by the peace and philosophy of anarchy
Entropy be the tendency for anything structurized to break free
Scientifically, it's a natural occurrence
It is easily understood be me, shit gets disorganized
But in the world we see, it's denied explicitly by laws bent on deterrence
So what solution are you using to counter democracy?
It can be confusing, choosing a method to resist
So if your refusing delusions of a theocracy
Don't go excluding the seducing draw to be an anarchist
I used to binded and blinded by equality
Neverminded even kinded the shit that they said
When I looked behind the lines of government falsity
I was reminded they made crimes of every thought in my head
Fuck the U.S., I'm slanderous to patriots
And blasphemous in my faithlessness, here's my ass to kiss
With violent randomness, aimed at idiots
My actions might seem purposeless, but there's a point to this
Rioting is bliss
Yes, and that's because
Absolute Nature Always Reveals Kaotic Independence
So I'm speaking up to defend this concept, which seems defenseless
Accused of primitivity, this nativity
Which created each individual human being with the ability
To admire it, someone said natural life is short, nasty, and brutish
But the truth is natural life is the truest
And laws are abused as long as the populace is stupid, created unnecessarily with excuses
But if you count the laws of nature, they are the fewest, count the commandments
You don't have to be born Jewish to understand them
And a Buddhist agrees as well
Because simplicity and complexity are opposites intertwined, that you cannot sell
That will not fail, could never perish
And what you witness in your ear as you hear this is that eternal spirit that you should cherish
And if you call that anarchy, if you refer to that as chaos
Then you may be led astray, way off
But I use the same names, understand the ultimate order that is in nature that contains
Some important structure that society needs to obtain
And it can be found in snowflakes, in all forms of life
So why confuse yourselves with some personal definitions of wrong and right?
When you have embedded in your brain pain and pleasure
To the height we can take it, there is no measure
So raise a fist to resist this capitalist bullshit
You get the gist, I'm an anarchist
I see cities, reduced to communities filled with trees
Governed by the peace and philosophy of anarchy
Man, I fucking hate government
Cause we're prisoners under it, it makes our backs bent
But like my brother Süp said, my back won't bend
And I will resist and defend free existence instead
I won't succumb to their blend, of mind controlling trends
I'll be whoever the fuck I am, I'll do only my own plans
And if I decide to, I'll start giving a damn, don't try to control me, you can't
We are kissed by a chick called Ann, understand, man?
Let me tell you how it's going down
First people have to understand the world round
That any authority is as bad as a crown
When people understand this a cry will resound
"Fuck governments," and authorities will shake at the sounds
Soon to be fumbling and stumbling and falling down
Mother fuckers will be lootin' and shootin' and brawlin'
But then peeps will look at bodies in the streets sprawlin'
And see children can't sleep cause they cryin' and bawlin'
People realize that lives are dissolvin', meltin' away
So without Stalin, we'll revert to nature's callin'
Read a chapter from the volume of the animal kingdom's lawbook
Ain't shit but who's the strongest
That don't mean animals is merciless, cause plenty animals is nurturing
So why should humans be different, especially if you're more intelligent
It don't make sense to have laws governin'
That's why I been wonderin', what the fuck are we waiting for?
Let's start authority abolishin', start capitalism demolishin'
Start this revolution revolvin', this shit's worth accomplishin'
Are you with me, are you followin'?
If not, your lack of thought is astonishin'
So raise a fist to resist this capitalist bullshit
You get the gist, I'm an anarchist
I see cities, reduced to communities filled with trees
Governed by the peace and philosophy of anarchy
You can't eliminate violence, and you can't eliminate peace
The best you can do is have a reason for each
If it takes violence for peace to be reached
Then I'll embrace violence to reach the peace that I seek
What is this authority?
And why are they always forcing me?
Or more importantly, whatever happened to my right of privacy?
And my right of publicity?
And my right to be free of having to live within range of visibility?
We all want change willingly
But when I end up in chains, I ain't feelin' it, are you feelin' me?
Unfortunately, although you may agree, you probably believe
That an overseer is necessary for a society to achieve
And that's exactly what they feed, but check this
What does society need beyond widespread happiness?
See, if you plant a seed you can eat breakfast
But to achieve substance, the route is so indirect that it's
Allowing another to dictate with their own checklist
With no respect for the planet every man is living reckless
I felt this pain at an early age and so in rage I chose to live this
Existence in the name of resistance
From the selfishness of humans that put their own greediness
Before the will of what's feeding this
The energy of the planet, I know you're feeling it, aren't you feeling this?
The earth is hurt, so let's start healing this
I don't need laws, because I have pure willingness
To serve a purpose and cure the illness that's killing this
You could call the human race parasitic, but I am not
Despite what you might have thought, critics, that sure silliness
And I know I'm right, cause it's survival of the fittest
And if the man and the system's grip ends up fulfilling this
Mass destruction via mass production, mass consumption
There may be a great population reduction
But beyond that it is a human function to survive
And so in the end only love will be alive
In the end, only love will live
I opened it up to read it, but quickly crumpled it up and threw it away
Cause they're suckas, and I ain't down with that
Government is whack, they take tax my paychecks and don't even ask
