Nookie Lyrics

Words of wisdom right now
I am an antichrist
I am an anarchist
I know what I want
And 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 maybe
I give a wrong time, stop a traffic line
Your future dream is a shopping scheme

'Cause 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 enemie
I use anarchy

'Cause I wanna be anarchy
It's the only way to be
See Sex Pistols Live
Get tickets as low as $80
Is this the MPLA?
Or is this the UDA?
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
And I wanna be anarchy
And I wanna be anarchy
Know what I mean?
And I wanna be an anarchist
I get pissed, destroy

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
