From anarchist to not anarchist

If your curious follow the links to read the actually lyrics to really see what I'm talking about. Baby I'm An Anarchist, I Was a Teenage Anarchist

This is the first song I heard from them since signing to a major label. I compare this song to when the Ataris did their first major label album, lot more polished then their previous albums. I do not condemn them for totally changing their ideals, I guess they just grew up and realized the scene isn't what they want. I can appreciate the sentiment. Also to be honest I don't think I should like this song cause it's so different from their past stuff, but hell I love the song.

"I was a teenage anarchist. The revolution was lie"
(I Was a Teenage Anarchist, Against Me!)

Newspapers are just props in my comics
