But the messages are there. We're not anarchists in the sense of the Sex Pistols' chaos, disorder. But our targets are really specific. We don't believe that human nature is intrinsically evil. We don't believe that people behave well to each other because the government tells them to or because money tells them to, because quite often what the government and money tells you to do is look after yourself and heck with everybody else.
Nutter defines anarchism as personal responsibility coupled with social responsibility.
People don't choose to be poor. You're poor because the economic system sets you up to be poor. Its celebratory feel certainly presents a different image of Chumbawamba than its pointedly political music. Nutter, however, isn't worried that the song may be giving Chumbawamba an image of being a good-time party band. And I think that's what people like in it, the idea that bad things happen, but you never let the bastards grind you down.
