Dead Kennedys - Anarchy For Sale Lyrics






Step right up folks

Anarchy for sale!
T-shirts only 10 dollars
Badges only 3.50
I nicked the design, never asked the band
I never listen to them either

Buy Buy Buy from Circle A
Like hula hoops, it's a disposable craze
Another fast-food fad to throw away

Get your Anarchy For Sale
Anarchy For Sale
Anarchy For Sale

Dead Kennedys Anarchy For Sale Comments
  1. T.... E....

    Ana-kay FOR SALE !!!

    (I'm unemployed so that usually means having to steal my anakay.)

  2. b.... ....

    this reminds me of all the rappers and their fans who wear punk jackets and band shirts lol so cringe worthy

  3. S.... ....

    This song as many songs still is relevant today. One kind of sad thing is that Dead Kennedys does the exact same thing today.

  4. T.... ....

    Bedtime for Democratrump

  5. L.... M....

    Hell yeah!!!

  6. L.... E....

    If anarchy is for sale I might as well steal it

    L.... E....

    😂😂😂

    L.... E....

    @Justin Vonn You are the worst kind of person...

    L.... E....

    Thank you very much XD
    So romantic XD hahaa

    L.... E....

    agreed!

    L.... E....

    No its only on loans bud!

  7. N.... o....

    in the 80s it was punks and anarchy, todays equivalent are survivalists and libertarians. punks message will never die. it just changes its profile

    N.... o....

    Except that libertarian hands off approach seems to apply way too much to large corporations who love to fuck over the powerless.

    N.... o....

    Bull shit do we have anything with the morons who lapped up corporate feudalist propaganda.

    N.... o....

    @Lew McDeano The Left is the one that bought into the myth of trickle-down. No economist has ever used that term. It is nothing but propaganda.

    N.... o....

    @lucidloon Your might want to look at the trillions in corporate welfare and ask yourself if that is "hands off".

    N.... o....

    @Idiot Magnet Right because rebellious punks much prefer government control. Punk is such a parody.

  8. f.... ....

    Anarchy as a punk rock mantra is a fucking joke. A great white shit eating whale of a myth. Because eventually after the dust has settled we ALL conform in one way or another in order to belong to any one particular group. We're social creatures. It's what we fucking do. Doesn't mean I like it any more than the rest of you. Some of the best potential anarchist punks I have met are old as hell senior citizens who have shed their fear of conformity and take their place

    f.... ....

    Anarchy is a social thing. It is not chaos, it´s order. If your books of anarchy talk about punks.. then you have the wrong books

    f.... ....

    For those who cling to the normal world view of what constitutes order, anarchy will always be chaos to them, no matter what any book says.

    f.... ....

    +fulgenciomartinez Anarchy is an Individual thing, a voluntary thing.

    f.... ....

    You presume that anarchy implies antisocialism. You presume that conformity is always a bad thing. If I conform with a social group which chooses *not* to jump over a cliff, chop off their own dicks arbitrarily, sacrifice their children to an imaginary being, pretend consumerism does not contribute catastrophically to environmental disaster, or to engage in cult worship of a moronic demagogue, then is conformity such a bad thing?

    My suggestion would be to broaden your own understanding of anarchy, society, conformity, will, and force. My suggestion would be to settle for what is possible, instead of holding out all your life for what isn't, because in truth, fayrae, this life is all you're gonna get.

    And, also, not to be so ageist. But maybe all that will come with time.

    Does that mean you have to "take your place?" That you have to cling to any norm (or, for that matter, to believe there is a norm?) Fuck no. Take whatever place you want to. Reject the norm. Be what you want to be, if you are able.

  9. L.... T....

    Makes me want to kill the poor

  10. B.... D....

    Even though people have been wearing that shit since before you were a sperm.

  11. R.... V....

    The 1 dislike must be a green day fan

    R.... V....

    RIK VARTIGYAN gods sake I fucking hate green day so much

  12. D.... S....

    lol I laugh even more when it's a store bought shirt so they contributed to the opposite of anarchy by buying it... paying tax to the government and supporting capitalism and such.

  13. D.... ....

    You made my day.

  14. A.... ....

    I pay the taxes because i live here... That is not what makes me a rebel what makes me a rebel is that i try to change what i dont like about this country although i may fail i still rebel and try

  15. M.... M....

    Tell me how the things you do are doing is not conforming, you live in the USA paying their stupid ass taxes acting as if youre a rebel, bitch.

  16. M.... ....

    Fuck EA

  17. E.... W....

    I'm listening to this on a playlist I made of the album and every time I get a commercial I have to spend a moment working out whether it's an actual youtube commerical or just Jello Biafra being ironic and awesome.

  18. J.... M....

    i dont "think" theres food based comedy going on. there IS food based comedy going on. i instigated it. you didnt get it. thats the joke. thank you for describing pakora for me lol btw i love how you listen to punk music and shout at kids for being conformist and me for being a hipster for having an eclectic music taste. im guessing at this point that your love for punk has less to do with artistic appreciation and more to do with you being a loser who sets himself in opposition to everything

  19. J.... M....

    lol btw by accusing you of eating vegetarian moussaka i was implying that you were a faggy "alt" type who thinks e-numbers are the government trying to poison him or summat. im not sure what your suggesting by mentioning pakora, but from my position it looks suspiciously like your replying to my humorous use of an obscure dish by just naming another food. i can see your clever/nazi enough to shout out a child for playing call of duty but not quite smart enough to engage in food-based comedy

  20. J.... M....

    mate i also listen to black metal, drum n bass and ludovico einaudi... im so non-comformist that im not gonna conform to your corporate ideals of what anti-culture is. now sit down and finish your vegetarian moussaka you fuckin stereotype lol

  21. J.... M....

    mate i listen to dead kennedys and im conformist as fuck, you mad nigga?

  22. p.... ....

    @greendaypunk1011 I know I see emos at my school wearing misfits and sex pistols shirts and they wear it cause it was on sale at hot fucking topic.

  23. B.... ....

    I heard this on the BOTTSR.
    They expose me to all kinds of cool stuff.

  24. B.... ....

    If I'm wearing a metal bracelet it's to salute Priest and Metal, not to fit in. This song really kicks ass though.

  25. c.... ....

    This song goes out to all the wannabe anarchist posers who think they're badass because they have those little anarchy patches attached to their bags and wear studs.

  26. b.... ....

    always thought this song would make a great disclaimer for crustpunks (dot) com hahahahahh

  27. d.... ....

    Now that Jello no longer has control over the Dead Kennedys catalogue, and you see Dead Kennedys videos surrounded by Vevo ads on youtube, Anarchy is indeed for sale!

  28. R.... R....

    "Sheep unite."

  29. g.... ....

    @NiggaPlease2311 right! that shit pisses me off! or when people wear band t-shirts and they have no clue who they are. some kid in my school was wearing an AC/DC shirt and though it was a brand of clothing -_-

  30. D.... G....

    Every body stfu fuck up about the media and COD and enjoy the music, u guys make me wanna smack u through the computer screen SMDH --___--

  31. A.... ....

    whats with all the hate duuuudes?

  32. l.... ....

    So I heard speaking English is popular in America nowadays. Damn. I must be a fucking conformist.

  33. m.... ....

    Huh, I think I'll just enjoy the music/message. That is after all, what I came here to do.

  34. T.... ....

    Im not gonna lie, i played video games like cod....then all of a sudden i realized one day i wasted like 6 months of my life on this stupid shit...i honestly hate myself for that cuz thats six months im never gonna get back

  35. P.... B....

    @Mcghi3 I hate Call of Duty more then you, but what the fuck does playing a damn video game have to do with "Conformity"? And you seem to be more of a "Nazi Punk" for attacking a dude who likes DK for their music. I appreciate the satire and humor in Jello's lyrics, but that doesnt mean you have to be into them for just the lyrics. I play video games sparingly, and that doesnt stop me from acting physically on DK/RATMs politics. Trolling against DK fans on youtube, YOUR a nazi punk. Fuck off!

  36. h.... b....

    @oftenlostinwhat haha i read his comment wrong settle down settle down

  37. h.... b....

    @Mcghi3 i know exactly what i said man and you are being a facist in this sense by the very deffinition of the word

  38. h.... b....

    @Mcghi3 ur such a facist man if he wants to pay that game let him his beliefs are probably different then yours no need to get mad about it punk taint no religous cult

  39. s.... ....

    @onionknight777 i completely agree, i just like the music. its faced paced and i love it.

  40. A.... B....

    @Taktwo2 Thanks. I'm not trying to conform to anything, I'm against most popular crap but DK are a pretty popular band, I mean heck youcan find their songs on GHIII.

    I did actually look up some info about DK's politics, I thought it was kinda funny how most of the stuff I feel about the government is concidered Anarchy but all the same, I just don't care.
    Thanks anyway though.

  41. T.... ....

    @onionknight777 You're missing out on a huge part of the DK's if your not taking in their political ideologies, but no one should be angry with you for not. I would go as far to say you're being a nazi punk in this situation Mcghi3. Enjoying something that you do not does not make him a conformist slave.

  42. A.... B....

    @Mcghi3 Listen, I'm just saying that because I think it's funny. I don't care how popular it is. I'm not proclaiming that I'm punk. For all I know, I am a conformist. But I simply don't care. I just like their music, I've got nothing to do with their political policies. I just appreciate good music.

  43. A.... B....

    @Mcghi3 You mad bro? You sure seem it...

  44. A.... B....

    This should be the black ops firesale song. :D

  45. l.... ....

    Makes me feel like stealing peoples mail.
