        G
I don't drive a car 
 Em
'cause they run on gas 
         C
but if I did 
     C         D
it'd run on biomass 
         G
I ride a bike 
   Em
or sometimes a skateboard 
   C
so fuck off all you drivers 
C               D
and your yuppie hordes 
C
sitting all-day 
G              D
in the traffic queues 
C            D              G
I'm a better anarchist than you 

            G
I don't eat meat
       Em
I just live on moldy chives 
         C
or the donuts that I found
   C                    D
in last week's dumpster dives
            G
look at you people in that restaurant
  Em
I think you are so sad 
         C
when you coulda been eating bagels
         C                D
like the ones that I just had
  C
I think it is a shame
        G                    D
all the bourgeois things you do
C            D              G
I'm a better anarchist than you 
        
             G
I don't wear leather 
      Em
and I like my clothes in black
      C
and I made a really cool hammock
       C            D
from a moldy coffee sack
          G
I like to hop on freight trains
  Em
I think that is so cool
     C
it's so much funner doing this
     C              D
than being stuck in school
  C
I can't believe you're wearing
      G               D
those brand new shiny shoes
C            D              G
I'm a better anarchist than you 

             G
I don't have sex
Em
and there will be no sequel
        C
because heterosexual relationships
    C            D
are inherently unequal
          G
I'll just keep moshing
   Em
to rancid and the clash
  C
until there are no differences
C                  D
in gender, race or class
C
all you brainwashed breeders
G                      D
you just haven't got a clue
C            D              G
I'm a better anarchist than you 

     G
I am not a pacifist
  Em
I like throwing bricks
             C
and when the cops have caught me
    C                D
and I've taken a few licks
  G
I always feel lucky
   Em
if I get a bloody nose
 C
'cause I feel so militant
C             D
and everybody knows
C
by the time
    G           D
the riot is all through
C            D              G
I'm a better anarchist than you

  G
I don't believe in leaders
 Em
I think the consensus is the key
         C
I don't believe is stupid notions
     C              D
like representative democracy
        G
whether or not it works
  Em
I know it is the case
     C
that only direct action
C                  D
can save the human race
C
so when I see you in your voting booths
G                D
then I know it's true
C            D              G
I'm a better anarchist than you
