Anarchy’s Just Another Word

Making the compromises
What did you know? What did you care?
Brave fronts, deceitful disguises
What did you know? What did you care?
Turning a blind eye to the lies just to keep it all together
But sometimes when I'm alone like this I wonder whether it's worth it

Smiling and socialising
What did you know? What did you care?
Endless philosophising
What did you know? What did you care?
Surface agreements, statements of fact, trying to prove we can do it
But sometimes when I'm alone like this I wonder just who can see through it

Bargains and sacrifices
What did you know? What did you care?
Cheap tricks, cheaper devices
What did you know? What did you care?
Holding the vision, but losing our sight, endlessly searching solution
But sometimes when I'm alone like this I wonder how much it's just institution

What did you know? What did you care?
What did you know? What did you care?
What did you know? What did you care?
What did you know? What did you care?

Anarchy's become another word for 'got 10p to spare?'
What did you know? What did you care?
Another way of saying 'I'm O.K., sod you out there'
What did you know? What did you care?
Another token tantrum to cover up the fear
What did you know? What did you care?
Another institution, another cross to bear
What did you know? What did you care?
What did you know? What did you care?
What did you know? What did you care?
"[?]"
What did you know? What did you care?
