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 and i fought for freedom. you believe in authority, and i believe in myself. i'm a molotov cocktail, you're the dom perignon. baby, what's that confused look in your eye? what i'm trying to say is that i'll burn down buildings whlie you sit on a shelf inside of them. you call the cops on the looters and the pie-throwers. they call it class war, i call them co-conspirators. 'cuz baby, i'm an anarchist and you're a spineless liberal. we marched together for the 8-hour day and held hands in the streets of seattle. but when it came time to throw bricks through that starbucks window you left me all alone. you watched in awe at the red, white & blue on the 4th of july. but while those fireworks were exploding i was burning that fucker and stringing my black flag high. eating the peanuts that the parties have tossed you. in the back seat of your father's new ford you believe in the ballot, you believe in reform. you have faith in the elephant and jackass. and to you solidarity is 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 and marry the state.

pretty self explanatory
do you remember '36, we went our separate ways, you fought for stalin and i fought for freedom.
the spanish civil war, when the left was fighting against the fascists, and then the leftists started fighting between themselves. "you fought for Stalin" means that the other person was a communist (Stalin was the only country to help the left fight the fascists, even though Germany and Italy both helped the fascists)
you believe in authority, and i believe in myself. i'm a molotov cocktail, you're the dom perignon.
molotov cocktail=explosive made with gasoline and a wine bottle~he is a proletarian fighting for rights
dom perignon=expensive wine~she is a member of the bourgeoisie, a rich liberal
baby, what's that confused look in your eye?
liberals and anarchists have a history of not understanding each other
what i'm trying to say is that i'll burn down buildings whlie you sit on a shelf inside of them
anarchists take direct action while liberals try to pass laws and reforms
you call the cops on the looters and the pie-throwers.
he is criticizing them for not being extreme enough
they call it class war, i call you co-conspirators
kind of like if youre not with us youre against us (Against Me!)(alright sorry bad pun)
'cuz baby, i'm an anarchist and you're a spineless liberal
liberals arent extreme enough
we marched together for the 8-hour day and held hands in the streets of seattle
anarchists and liberals protesting at the WTO in 1999
but when it came time to throw bricks through that starbucks window you left me all alone
anarchists started a riot at the protests, but the liberals stayed out of it
you watched in awe at the red, white & blue on the 4th of july
liberals are patriots
but while those fireworks were exploding i was burning that fucker and stringing my black flag high
black flag=anarchy
eating the peanuts that the parties have tossed you
liberals just take what the republicans and democrats give them
in the back seat of your father's new ford
rich liberals who dont work or know why people join the far left
you believe in the ballot, you believe in reform
faith in democracy
you have faith in the elephant and jackass
faith in the two party system (elephant=rep, jackass=donkey=dem)
and to you solidarity is a four-letter word
solidarity=swear
we're all hypocrites, but you're a patriot.
dunno what to say if you dont get that part
you thought i was only joking when i was screaming, "kill whitey" at the top of my lungs
white people have screwed the world
at the cops in their cars and the men in their suits
symbols of conformity, brutality and fascism
no i won't take your hand and marry the state.
