Attitude
Anarchy 6 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just wanna get drunk all day
always tryin' to tell me what to do
you don't know what you say so fuck you!
(chorus)
got my mohawk today
got the attitude, it's here to stay
i've got attitude
now I know what is right is right
and we're here to out up a fight
no more of society's junk
now that I'm the king of punk
(chorus)
we know what's cool
we can show you the attitude!
nothin' to lose (bring your own booze)
the attitude! We have the power
(growing by the hour) the attitude!
changing things today
the ones that break away, the attitude!
The lyrics of Anarchy 6's song Attitude express a rejection of societal norms, focusing instead on living life on one's own terms. The opening lines convey a disregard for authority and a preference for escaping reality by drinking. The sentiment is extended to a person who is trying to impose their will on the singer, suggesting that the singer is inclined to resist any external attempts to control them.
The chorus proclaims the emergence of a new identity in the singer that is embodied in their Mohawk, symbolizing their alignment with punk culture. This new identity is associated with an "attitude," which is a powerful force that allows the singer to assert themselves in the world. The following lines express a determination to fight against the oppressive forces of society, rejecting societal expectations in favor of punk culture, which is presented as a more authentic way of life.
Overall, the song Attitude represents a manifesto of punk rebellion against societal norms, symbolized by the singer's adoption of a new punk identity and perspective on life.

We only pressed 500 copies! I don't know if it will ever be re-released on CD! There's too many issues since Phil Newman is no longer alive! Besides, this was 6 friends doing a parody of Hardcore! The songs were all written in a 24 hour period at Spinhead(Phil's Studio) in Burbank back in 1987! I don't think it will happen but, I'll have a discussion with the others and see if they're interrested in putting it back out! It really is a great record and the one and only Live Anarchy 6 show at Anti Club was hilarious! It happened before the record was written and recorded! Thanks to a taper friend, it got recorded! I LMMFAO everytime I hear it! Sure miss Our Brother, Phil! Life's not the same without Him!
