Right now
I am an antichrist
And I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want
But I know how to get it
I want to destroy passerby

'Cause I wanna be anarchy
No dogsbody

Anarchy for the U.K.
It's coming sometime and maybe
I give a wrong time, stop a traffic line
Your future dream is a shopping scheme

'Cause I, I wanna be anarchy
In the city

How many ways to get what you want
I use the best, I use the rest
I use the NME
I use anarchy

'Cause I wanna be anarchy
It's the only way to be

Is this the MPLA?
Or is this the UDA?
Or is this the IRA?
I thought it was the UK
Or just another country
Another council tenancy

I wanna be anarchy
And I wanna be anarchy
Know what I mean?
And I want to be an anarchist
I get pissed, destroy

    Actually, Sid was a TERRIBLE bassist. It was common for the band to disconnect his amp during live shows just so the crowd wouldn't hear his awful playing. Much of it was due to his usually being wasted, but he was not very good even when sober. All that being said, he was the definition of punk, if not of a musician.
