Anarchy in the U.K. (Sex Pistols cover) Lyrics
Right now
I am an Anti-Christ,
and I am an anarchist.
Don't know what I want, but I know how to get it,
I want to destroy, possibly?
Cause I want to be Anarchy. No dog's body.
Anarchy for the U.K.
It's coming sometime it maybe.
I give a wrong time, stop a traffic light.
Your future dream is a shopping spree.
Cause I want to be Anarchy, in the city.
Of many ways to get what you want
I use the best, I use the rest.
I use the enemy,
I use anarchy.
Cause I want to be Anarchy, it's the only way to be.
Is this the M.P.L.A.?
Is this the U.D.A.?
Is this the I.R.A.?
I thought it was the U.K., or just another country
and other cunt-like tendencies.
Cause I want to be Anarchy, cause I want to be Anarchy,
you know what I mean?
Cause I want to be an Anarchist, again I'm pissed, Destroy!
When he says Anarchy in the U.K... I'm pretty sure he's saying Anarchy in the U.S.A... He changed it to fit the fact that Megadeth is from the U.S.A., the Sex Pistols are from the U.K.
That would be a retarded concept. Going by that logic, whenever a non-yank does a cover of 'Kids in America' they need to change the country name to their one?

He does change U.K. to U.S.A. throughout the song. The reason the lyrics are wrong on Megadeth's version is because Dave tried to get them from listening to the original, but had trouble understanding Johnny's vocals. Any parts that he couldn't understand he just made up something that sounded like it. Obviously he didn't really put a lot of thought into it.

...sex pistols cover...
A very good Sex Pistols cover...but doesnt beat the original!
Mustaine changed a word or two, too. I don't want to question the divinity of the Sex Pistols, but... no dog's body? Honestly now...
ok hold up this is NOT dave mustaine singing... WTF is going on here? thats not megadeth... it cant be. can somebody explain how he managed to change his voice that much?
Of course it is. Singers change voices marvelously. Listen to Painkiller by Judas, you won't believe it's the actual Halford. Watch an interview with Mustaine, you wouldn't believe how much he modifies his voice to sing to Megadeth.

although this cover does not hold up (hell, Motley Crue did a much better version two years later) they did a very good job at adapting it into their style
as far as So Far,,, being a bad album, it's all in the eye of the beholder... I like it, it's not their best, but it is not a bad album
Coked Up Dave managed to make great albums
I like this cover, some people love it, some people hate it. So Far, So Good..So What Remastered version is a real big improvement on the original. The original's production was way off
hey ohpkyle
he says dogsbody which is british slang for servant
idiot
as a diehard Pistols fan, I search out every cover just because I can. I love to hear different takes on such groundbreaking tunes. Anyways, in terms of Pistols covers, this is weak. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely the love the Megadeth version, but to cover a song that is so much about vibe....and they missed all of that. So they have no clue to the spirit of the original...a given...I really like what they did with it, the metal riffs, and the vocals are badass....no comment on the actual lyrics though, heh. All in all an interesting take on just how fucked up Mustaine was at the time...and anyone who seriously compares this to the Crue version...that one is even worse, talk about missing the point.
So many people hate this cover and resent its existence on "So Far, So Good...So What?" but I completely love how well it fits as the 3rd track. It goes so well with the theme of Set The World On Fire, and is REALLY fun to listen to. I feel the same way about I Ain't Superstitious on "Peace Sells...But Who's Buying?" Both are very good covers and whenever I listen to either album, I look forward to them lol. SO GOOD!
I've heard the original Sex Pistols version, and although I do respect how influential the Sex Pistols were, I don't find their music to be very interesting. It sounds very dated to me.
