[Intro]
All your glorious battles, what did they amount to, what did they prove?
All for your pride of country, all for your sacred democracy, rival national myths
All for your rich ancestry of warmongers, you hailed as heroes
Don't believe in your jingoistic pride, that fuels your imperialistic genocide
[Chorus]
When all I cry for is Anarchy
When all I plea for is to be free
Their slavery will never get the best of me
Their restrictions will never imprison me
Their poisons will never disable me
Love is the force that binds me
[Bridge]
A better world will emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past
Considering tens of millions lost their lives in conflict, is that too much to ask?
Wars of religion, nationalism, made all the more devastating by advances in perverted science
Led the innocent to early deaths, soldiers to shallow graves
How can you sleep at night?
[Chorus]
When all I cry for is to be free
When all I plea for is Anarchy
Their slavery will never get the best of me
Their restrictions will never imprison me
Their poisons will never disable me
Love is the force that drives me
Hatred will never overtake me
All your glorious battles, what did they amount to, what did they prove?
All for your pride of country, all for your sacred democracy, rival national myths
All for your rich ancestry of warmongers, you hailed as heroes
Don't believe in your jingoistic pride, that fuels your imperialistic genocide
[Chorus]
When all I cry for is Anarchy
When all I plea for is to be free
Their slavery will never get the best of me
Their restrictions will never imprison me
Their poisons will never disable me
Love is the force that binds me
[Bridge]
A better world will emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past

Their slavery will never get the best of me
Their restrictions will never imprison me
Their poisons will never disable me
Love is the force that drives me
Hatred will never overtake me
