This article is about the Sex Pistols song. For anarchism in the UK, see Anarchism in the United Kingdom.
"Anarchy in the U.K." is a song by English punk rock band the Sex Pistols. It was released as the band's debut single on 26 November 1976 and was later featured on their album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols. "Anarchy in the U.K." is number 56 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time[1] and is included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.[2]
Originally issued in a plain black sleeve, the single was the only Sex Pistols recording released by EMI, and reached number 38 on the UK Singles Chart before EMI dropped the group on 6 January 1977, a month after members of the band used profanity during a live television broadcast. (Although the EMI version was recorded on 17 October 1976, an earlier demo version was recorded between 10 and 12 October at Lansdowne/Wessex Studios, London. This version later surfaced on the Sex Pistols bootleg album Spunk).
In the documentary The Filth and the Fury, John Lydon described the composition of the song's opening lyrics, explaining that the best rhyme he could devise for the first line, "I am an Antichrist", was the second line, "I am an anarchiste". (Lydon confirmed that he is not an anarchist in a 2012 interview.[3])
A limited edition 7" inch picture disc of the single was released on 21 April 2012 for that year's Record Store Day.[4][5]
With its "inflammatory, venomous lyrics [and] crude energy", the Sex Pistols' debut single "established punk's modus operandi".[6] Producer Chris Thomas layered multiple tracks of Steve Jones's guitar to create a "searing wall of sound",[7] while Johnny Rotten spewed the vocals "as if his teeth had been ground down to points."[8]

The abbreviations used in the lyrics are a selection of civil war references from 1970s headlines, a suggestion of what could happen in the United Kingdom. The IRA and the UDA were the largest paramilitary armies in the conflict in Northern Ireland: the heavily armed IRA (Irish Republican Army) were on the Republican (anti-British, pro-unification) side, while the thousands-strong UDA (Ulster Defence Association) were on the Loyalist (pro-British, anti-unification) side. The MPLA (Movimento Popular de Libertação de Angola, or the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola) were the political party that took control of Angola, formerly one of Portugal's African colonies, in a 1975–76 civil war, and still run the country today. When Rotten sings, "I use the enemy", it's a deliberate homonym for "I use the NME", or New Musical Express, the British weekly music newspaper.[9][10]
The lyrics endorse a particularly sensational, violent concept of anarchy that reflected the pervasive sense of embittered anger, confusion, restlessness, economic frustration and social alienation which was being felt by a generation of disenfranchised youth amidst the declining economic situation and bland music scene of the mid-1970s. Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren considered the song "a call to arms to the kids who believe that rock and roll was taken away from them. It's a statement of self rule, of ultimate independence."[11] In 2007, the surviving members (not including original Pistols bassist Glen Matlock) re-recorded "Anarchy in the U.K." for the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock because the multi-track master could not be found[12] (it was rediscovered along with the rest of the Never Mind The Bollocks masters during a move in January 2012[13]). The Guitar Hero version also appears in the film adaption of the A-Team. The song was also featured in the video game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 as part of the soundtrack.[14] The song also appears in the Constantine TV series during the episode "The Devil's Vinyl".[15]
An alternative recording of the song in 3
4 time, accompanied by violin and accordion, apparently both translated into French and sung by a mysterious figure called Louis Brennon (also named as Jerzimy in some sources), appeared on the Sex Pistols' 1979 album The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle.[18][19]
"Anarchy in the U.K." was covered by American heavy metal band Megadeth for their third album So Far, So Good... So What!, released in 1988.
Megadeth's version has altered lyrics. Dave Mustaine explained that he could not understand Johnny Rotten's singing, so he made up the parts he could not understand (in a notable example, the line "another council tenancy" is changed to "and other cunt-like tendencies"). In addition, the country is changed to "USA", though the title is kept unchanged. The song's music video is a montage of live footage of the band, cartoon political figures, various scenes of violence, and of a man being forced to watch (much like Alex's therapy in A Clockwork Orange). Steve Jones played the second solo.
Mustaine now refuses to play the song live due to lyrics referring to the Anti-Christ, and he believes he's "better for it".[20]
Green Jellÿ's version of "Anarchy in the U.K." is a parody cover of the original. This version takes the original song and combines it with Flintstones references. Although the version's proper title is "Anarchy in the U.K.", it was originally titled "Anarchy in Bedrock" on Green Jellÿ's (then Green Jellö's) Triple Live Möther Gööse at Budokan album.
William Hanna and Joseph Barbera took offence to this version and to Green Jellÿ mocking The Flintstones, but later relented, as this version was featured on the soundtrack to the Flintstones film that was released in 1994.
American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe also covered the song on their 1991 compilation album Decade of Decadence, substituting US analogies and organizations in the lyrics for UK ones.

[Intro]
Right now, heh heh heh heh

[Verse 1]
I am an Antichrist
I am an anarchist
Don't know what I want but I know how to get it
I wanna destroy the passersby

[Chorus 1]
'Cause I, I wanna be anarchy!
No dogsbody!

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 2]
'Cause I, I wanna be anarchy!
In the city

[Guitar Solo 1]

[Verse 3]
How many ways to get what you want
I use the best, I use the rest
I use the N.M.E
I use anarchy

What have the artists said about the song?
In the first six lines of “Anarchy In The UK” Johnny Rotten took American “punk” (think cartoonish Ramones or drug-addled Johnnie Thunders) and injected an explicit social and political dimension, to say nothing of nihilism, into it that completely changed what “punk” meant. Hitherto a rather squalid, silly, noisy and amusing yet ignorable phenomenon, here Rotten and company began a musical assault, by turns disgustingly rude and politically charged, that the establishment simply could not ignore. Acres of frothing, indignant press coverage began, Bill Grundy interviewed them on the Today programme, ensuring the Sex Pistols' notoriety for ever (plus in the process wrecking his career) and councils up and down the land quivered in fear and indignation, usually choosing to ban the group from playing.
These six lines are punk rock’s manifesto, the most important lines from a track that is one of the most important singles — arguably the most important — ever released.
Boy or girl, you had better look at Johnny.
The line “or just another country” is a reference to hyper-patriotism. Despite how much people think their country is special or superior, it’s just another country in a world of 230 countries.
