You talk about your revolution, well, that's fine

But what are you going to be doing come the time?

Are you going to be the big man with the tommy-gun?

Will you talk of freedom when the blood begins to run?

Well, freedom has no value if violence is the price

Don't want your revolution, I want anarchy and peace

You talk of overthrowing power with violence as your tool

You speak of liberation and when the people rule

Well ain't it people rule right now, what difference would there be?

Just another set of bigots with their rifle-sights on me

But what about those people who don't want your new restrictions?

Those that disagree with you and have their own convictions?

You say they've got it wrong because they don't agree with you

So when the revolution comes you'll have to run them through

You say that revolution will bring freedom for us all

Well freedom just ain't freedom when your back's against the wall

You talk of overthrowing power with violence as your tool

You speak of liberation and when the people rule

Well ain't it people rule right now, what difference would there be?

Just another set of bigots with their rifle-sights on me

Will you indoctrinate the masses to serve your new regime?

And simply do away with those whose views are too extreme?

Transportation details could be left to British rail

Where Zyklon B succeeded, North Sea Gas will fail

It's just the same old story of man destroying man

We've got to look for other answers to the problems of this land

You talk of overthrowing power with violence as your tool

You speak of liberation and when the people rule

Well ain't it people rule right now, what difference would there be?

Just another set of bigots with their rifle-sights on me

Vive la revolution, people of the world unite

Stand up men of courage, it's your job to fight

It all seems very easy, this revolution game

But when you start to really play things won't be quite the same

Your intellectual theories on how it's going to be

Don't seem to take into account the true reality

Cos the truth of what you're saying, as you sit there sipping beer

Is pain and death and suffering, but of course you wouldn't care

You're far too much of a man for that, if Mao did it so can you

What's the freedom of us all against the suffering of the few?

That's the kind of self-deception that killed ten million jews

Just the same false logic that all power-mongers use

So don't think you can fool me with your political tricks

Political right, political left, you can keep your politics

Government is government and all government is force

Left or right, right or left, it takes the same old course

Oppression and restriction, regulation, rule and law

The seizure of that power is all your revolution's for

You romanticise your heroes, quote from Marx and Mao

Well their ideas of freedom are just oppression now

Nothing changed for all the death, that their ideas created

It's just the same fascistic games, but the rules aren't clearly stated

Nothing's really different cos all government's the same

They can call it freedom, but slavery is the game

Nothing changed for all the death, that their ideas created

It's just the same fascistic games, but the rules aren't clearly stated

Nothing's really different cos all government's the same

They can call it freedom, but slavery is the game

There's nothing that you offer but a dream of last years hero

The truth of revolution, brother................... is year zero.

Due to revolutions and coups democracy has replaced monarchies in England and France. Although you could say it is not true democracy, it is better than being at the whims and possible insanity of a one person dictatorship. Kings and Queens came to power on blood line not psychological vetting. The problem now is dictatorship from a small minority of rich is making democracy fake - but to change that requires peaceful protest not revolution.

A anarchist too me,is someone who understands that to finally find World peace,we must destroy this fake belief system of religion that those in power have used for hundreds of years too make us believe we have a more God given right than the other man.

I'm all for music introducing radical concepts and ideology but I wish people wouldn't just get their ideas of politics from punk. Read a fucking book too! And get active! As far as literature I'd recommend checking out akpress.

I was a very young punk when I first heard this and dare say it was way ahead of it's time. The abstract verse changes were evident of 'Prog/Punk' leanings for me but were vital to get the point of the story across. Future genius at the time indeed and it forced a creativeness that was missing in the Punk genre of the day.

In my country, Scotland.... people i've known for years as fellow 'anarchists' are actually doing what they accused the Anarcho bands of doing.... they are 'selling out' and voting for what they think is 'independence', voting for a Scottish National Party..... ye couldn't make it up.... bloody fakes. Disillusioned.

ANARCHY CRASS FROM CARRARA

Jake Davey

Crass are as relevant today as they have ever been, Britain is far from Great.Who the Fuck is in control? WANKERS, that's who, Maybe it is time for Anarchy!

I disagree fundamentally with aspects of Crass (mostly the rather draconian dogma and near-asexual aesthetic, etc. Punk is fun and sexy, too), but thank them warmly for being brave enough to feature Eve Libertine's middle-class accent and a sound which doesn't simply ape the Pistols or the Ramones. The section with Libertine which begins at 3:00 is actually very pleasantly reminiscent of folk-rockers Steeleye Span.
