Someday you gotta find another way,
You better right your mind and live by what you say.
Today is just another day,
Unless you set your sights and try to find a way.

(Pre-Chorus)
I say fuck authority,
Silent Majority, raised by the system,
Now it's time to rise against them.
We're sick of your treason, sick of your lies,
Fuck no we won't listen, we're gonna open your eyes!

(Chorus)
Frustration, domination,
Feel the rage of a new generation!
We're living, we're dying,
We're never, never, never gonna stop!
Stop trying! (x4)

You know the time is right to take control,
We gotta take offense against the status quo.
No way, not gonna stand for it today,
Fight your rights it's time we had our say.

(Pre-Chorus)
I say fuck authority,
Silent Majority, raised by the system,
Now it's time to rise against them.
We're sick of your treason, sick of your lies,
Fuck no we won't listen, we're gonna open your eyes!

(Chorus)
Frustration, domination,
Feel the rage of a new generation!
We're living, we're dying,
We're sick and tired of relentless trying!
Destroy, enjoy,
Your fuckin' world is our new toy!
Dominate, eliminate,
Your gonna feel the wrath - wrath of hate!

(Pre-Chorus)
Fuck authority,
Silent Majority, raised by the system,
Now it's time to rise against them.
We're sick of your treason, sick of your lies,
Fuck no we won't listen, we're gonna open your eyes!

(Chorus)
Frustration, domination,
Feel the rage of a new generation!
We're living, we're dying,
We're never, never, never gonna stop!
Stop trying! (x4)

    General Comment:Obviously Egypt has been listening to this song... it's not about wanting arnachy, but simply wanting freedom of speech and for less cruelty and rules in America.

    General Comment:Now see I dont think that this song is about Anarchy at all...I think that it is about fighting for your rights and fixing the government not overthrowing it not excepting what these other Brain washed americans are excepting.... I agree with Freedom not Anarchy... this world needs rules and people to govern them it would be Armegeddon if ther wasent any state of order people do not have the integrity or even the smarts to govern themselves!!!!

    General Comment:Okay, I like Pennywise, don't get me wrong... I'm also a fan of most Punk... But i just can't agree with them.. Fuck Authority? Without it America would be a total wasteland. I'm tired of hearing all these Teenaged "Punks" saying "America is evil!" Sure, every government has its flaws, but when has there been a perfect government? I'd like to give these guys a reality check and send them to someplace that doesn't have a government, or maybe even a place with a dictator where they have practically no freedoms at all. It some countries this song wouldn't even be released, considered "heresy." Jus please don't take our government for granted.

    General Comment:authority is the biggest cause of problems and has always been the biggest cause of problems

    ppl are just too dumb to see this...

    just look how many ppl in the usa support bush...if that doesn't say enough

    anarchy isn't chaos,anarchy is the love for freedom and justice and the hate against authority and all the shit it causes...ppl are just dumb,they're in the system,the system is in them...they think authority is needed...it isn't...
