Where Do Ya Draw The Line Lyrics
Seems like the more I think I know
The more I find I don't
Every answer opens up so many questions
Anarchy sounds good to me
Then someone asks, "Who'd fix the sewers?"
"Would the rednecks just play king
Of the neighborhood?"
How many liberators
Really want to be dictators
Every theory has its holes
When real life steps in
So how do we feed
And make room for
All the people crowded on our earth
And transfer all that wealth
From the rich to those who need it
Where Do Ya Draw the Line
Where Do Ya Draw the Line
I'm not telling you
I'm asking you
Ever notice hard line radicals
Can go on star trips too
Where no one's pure and right
Except themselves
"I'm cleansed of the system."
('Cept when my amp needs electric power)
Or - "The Party Line says no.
Feminists can't wear fishnets."
You wanna help stop war?
Well, we reject your application
You crack too many jokes
And you eat meat
What better way to turn people off
Than to twist ideas for change
Into one more church
That forgets we're all human beings
Where do ya draw the line
In Toronto someone blew up
A cruise missile warhead plant
10 slightly hurt, 4 million dollars damage
Why not destroy private property
When it's used against you and me
Is that violence
- Or self-defense
You tell me
Where Do Ya Draw the Line
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Where Do Ya Draw the Line
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Where Do Ya Draw the Line?
The more I find I don't
Every answer opens up so many questions
Then someone asks, "Who'd fix the sewers?"
"Would the rednecks just play king
Of the neighborhood?"
Really want to be dictators
Every theory has its holes
When real life steps in
And make room for
All the people crowded on our earth
And transfer all that wealth
From the rich to those who need it
Where Do Ya Draw the Line
I'm not telling you
I'm asking you
Can go on star trips too
Where no one's pure and right
Except themselves
('Cept when my amp needs electric power)
Or - "The Party Line says no.
Feminists can't wear fishnets."
Well, we reject your application
You crack too many jokes
And you eat meat
Than to twist ideas for change
Into one more church
That forgets we're all human beings
Where do ya draw the line
A cruise missile warhead plant
10 slightly hurt, 4 million dollars damage
When it's used against you and me
Is that violence
- Or self-defense
You tell me
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Where Do Ya Draw the Line
I'm not telling you, I'm asking you
Where Do Ya Draw the Line?

I adore these lyrics.
Cause sorry folks but anarchy is just a hopeless ideal. just as flawed as the next.
i believe that anarchy can never work, solely due to the sick kind of people in this world...but if it weren't for that, punk wouldn't exist...
You idiots, the song isn't saying that anarchy wouldn't work. It's saying that every theory has its advantages and disadvantages and that people should make up their own minds as to what they believe in. It's directed at the people who get all their political views from DK songs.
and one of those theorys that jello's talking about IS anarchy... and he has made his views about anarchy known before... 'I believe society isnt ready for anarchy yet' - quoting biafra (more or less accurate)
Punk would still be around without anarchy but it would probably cling to communism or fascism.
naw, bro. listen to nazi punks, fuck off. or i shall quote
PUNK AIN'T NO RELIGIOUS CULT PUNK MEANS THINKING FOR YOURSELF
These lyrics remind me of chickenshit conformist i think the main difference is that chickenshit conformist focuses on how the punk scene "fights best amongst itself". Where do you draw the line puts that idea on entire political or social movements
