Pirate Jenny she got her revenge   Hey boys hats off to her   Sally Bowles she got her man   and he got really hurt.         Me and my friends had some good ideas   but I swear that town got so damn weird.      I got out alive in '35   I don't think I'll ever go back   but I remember . . .      Pirate Jenny let me off the hook   for one drink I bought for her.      And Sally Bowles used to    look at me and sigh,   "If you weren't so poor"   It ain't no thing about the promise ring   and socialists are so boring.      Just a bunch of bullies   that I can't stand   they got elected into office by . . . well, you.         Pirate Jenny she bought the bar   now everybody works for her.   And Sally Bowles "Mein Herr" bit took off   and she's a star.   But the Bully Boys start sitting up in the front   and the doorman's taking tips   and suggestions.   I'm getting in fights   in the places I used to play,   it's like walking through a mine field every day.         "I'm a fag, I'm a Jew, how do you do?    That's Mister Anarchist to you.   You think your scene's dead?   Well mine got killed   by some dimwit's Triumph of the Will.      From the all-ages shows,   to the full wet bars,   to the front line squats of the culture wars,   I'm not gonna hit you with the dogma   or the lecturing,   this is a purely personal thing."      You see, Pirate Jenny    didn't have no friends when those bulls   they came for her.   And Sally Bowle's man   he got pushed up against the wall.   Now every time I see a Swiss bank I spit.   You say "resist control"?   Well, I mean it.      Cause it was come as you are   in the cattle cars   and not a damn thing you can do about it.   'Cept remember!
