# Teen angst has never had so pivotal a spike as the punk movement. You see the troubled youth on the street, skateboards in hand, self righteous dogma holding them high. Why? Because they have more than just the new NOFX album... they have a reason to live. A code. Anarchy.
Sign up with me. I have the order form right here. The death of corporate America and all of the kids more popular than you are, emblazoned with No Fear logos, signed to major record labels, and televised almost live on MTV. Come on, admit it, that's the reason you charged $150 Doc Martins to your father's Master Card... For Anarchy, right? For all of the glory of being more extreme than anyone on your block. That's why you paid $26 at Sam Goody Music for a T-shirt that says "Punk's Not Dead." That'll show the corporate bastards. What next? How about that movement?
What have you been doing for the glorious cause of anarchy? Anything? Or have you been smoking up on weekends and scoring beer on Wednesday and waiting. Because when it all comes down, you know you were there on the righteous side of Anarchy.
Well, at least that's what it says on your jacket.

We knocked on doors of Hell's darker chambers
Pushed to the limits, we dragged ourselves in
Watched from the wings as the scenes were replaying

The sorrows we suffered and never were free
Where have they been?
Weary inside, now our heart's lost forever
Can't replace the fear or the thrill of the chase
These rituals showed up the door for our wanderings
Opened and shut, then slammed in our face
Where have they been?

If we beg to the cross on the wall

But kneel to that cross on the wall.

Tried to conquer the sun with a Christian frost
The corpses' stench beneath the cross
Give them gold and they'll save your soul
And kneel to the cross on the wall
Hail to the boss of the great unwashed
And kneel to the cross on the wall

As they go to the cross on the wall
And it's ever so wrong to dare to be strong
So kneel to the cross on the wall
