about

Raise the Blue and Green Flag and shout ANARCHY NOW! This song is spoilerrific, but only thematically, and for 70 or so years after the end of this initial trilogy. Also features swears. Well, a swear. Enough to get us an [EXPLICIT] tag in the States, anyway.

lyrics

Song for a Free Court (Anarchy Now!)
(C) 2012-2015 Crime and the Forces of Evil

I don't care about your classes
I'm just not into your rules
I'm not afraid of your power, honey, and
your money's simply no good here because
a new millennium of pointless grudges
Is simply not my idea of fun

We're gonna
START! ignoring all your strictures
START! by sitting all this out
We're gonna
START! by bailing on this conflict and
START! by drawing our own maps

I've been seventeen years of wondering
Just where the hell my mother went
The best you fuckers can bring on board is
Twice that long in unpaid rent but
I don't give a damn about family money and
this long-missing heir is not impressed

We're gonna
START! by sending back your offer
START! by turning down your deal
We're gonna
START! by acting like some grown-ups and
START! by building our own space

I really don't think that you see this picture
There's something wrong inside your set
The video's blinking an eternal midnight
and I know what you think I don't get, oh,
And maybe someone else might nibble
at the candy toys you give away but I
have some idea of what you're trading
and you won't get me on hook today

Because we'll start
START! by throwing off your dictates
START! by adding none of our own
We're gonna
START! by tossing off these titles and
START! by calling our own court

I so hear what you're saying
But you've got this whole thing wrong
I won't be another stupid monarch
'Cause I don't need a crown to make me strong oh and
maybe now our best course of action is to
just to leave every one alone!

We're gonna
START! by tossing out your rulebook
START! by letting people know
We're gonna
START! by minding our own business and
START! by building somewhere to go

FREE THINKING SIDHE OF ALL WORLDS! HEAR US!
THE TIME FOR MASTERS HAS COME AND GONE!
THE FREE COURT OF SEATTLE CALLS TO ALL OF YOU -
RAISE THE BLUE AND GREEN FLAG AND SHOUT
ANARCHY NOW!
