Only Anarchists Are Pretty
And if we should be arrested
Before we sleep,
I'll see you outside in a few days
Or, in a few weeks.
And if you should be shot
Trying to escape,
I'll know that
For the lie that's written on it's face.
Well, alright.
And if we don't live to be
Old and faint,
It will be because we got lazy
And forgot to get away.
When we were young
You were the best thing going,
I struggled mightly to keep
My hands to myself
After watching you strut down the street
Telling everyone to go to hell
With a flash of ankle,
Snarl of the lip,
S see you in the street and gasp.
After a lot of gossip and glances
I'd had enough.
I grasped gently by the arm and said
"Hey, I got a crush."
You caught both my eyes
And you gave me a push.
You said "Hey, you got one back."
And the room caved in.
A flash of ankle,
A snarl of the lip,
I see you in the street and gasp.
Only Anarchists Are

Only Anarchists Are Pretty (x3)
After a lot of gossip and glances
Your boyfriend got upset.
He punched me in my snout and said
"Hey! We got a debt."
I turned my eyes into slits
And gave him a kick
"Hey! You want one back?"
And the room caved in.
A flash of ankle,
A snarl of the lip,
I see you in the street and gasp.

Solo los anarquistas son bonitos
Y si nos arrestan
Antes de dormir,
Te veré afuera en unos días
O, en unas semanas.
Y si te disparan
Intentando escapar,
Sabré que
Es una mentira escrita en su cara.
Bueno, está bien.
Y si no vivimos para ser
Viejos y débiles,
Será porque nos volvimos perezosos
Y olvidamos escapar.
Cuando éramos jóvenes
Eras lo mejor que había,
Luché mucho por mantener
Mis manos quietas
Después de verte caminar por la calle
Diciéndole a todos que se vayan al infierno
Con un destello de tobillo,
Friso de labio,
Te veo en la calle y respiro hondo.
Después de mucho chisme y miradas
Ya había tenido suficiente.
Te agarré suavemente del brazo y dije
