Discover the story of the song > Anarchy For Sale – Dead Kennedys

The lyrics are about a person selling Anarchy-themed merchandise, like t-shirts and badges, without actually knowing or caring about the message behind it. The song criticizes the consumer culture and superficiality of rebellion, where people buy into anarchy as a fashion trend rather than truly understanding or living it. The lyrics also mention the pressure to conform to a certain style within the scene and the town, even though it's all just for sale and lacks genuine meaning.
