Anarchists' Chorus.

"He is useless on top of the ground; he ought to be underneath it inspiring the Cabbages."—The Philosopher On Tommy Taylor.

Air: "Soldiers of the King."

Anarchists have never, never been
Renowned for patriotic loyalty;
We, in fact, have ever, ever had
A craving for the blood of royalty:
But now the Emperor's reformed us,
Although we had him in our power;
And it's so good-bye to regicide,
For we decide we're satisfied
That schemes like ours should be decried—
Put the old "mens rea" out of sight.
There's a flood tide in affairs of men,
And if they ken to take in when
It has reached high water-mark, well then
Each may be dubbed a gentle knight. ..
