okay, if its about anarchy, why is he the new king? that justs removes the anarchy. i think its about anarchy not being possible. not for long anyway. somone will rise, most likely the one who "killed the king." so if its not about anarchy at all, its just a song about the idea of removing the one in power to raise yourself to the position. idk. i have nothing to back this other than analyzing what i read.

I think that it is also about how people mistreated by corrupt governments will eventually overthrow them

Truly anarchy is the subject of the song, nothing more or less. I love it, especially when it goes to the verse "Kill the king, the king is dead, long live the kind, I am THE KING!". It just makes me feel pumped up.

i don't think it's as simple as anarchy, i think it's about the corruption of power, that he kills the king, only to become the king himself. he sees corruption in a powerful figure (a politician, maybe the president), overthrows them, then becomes just like them. i think the message is not to let power be given to one man alone.

Yeah, it's clearly not about anarchy. And "the King is dead. Long live the King." is a well-known historical proclamation made during the replacement of a monarch.

The way Mustaine says ''I AM THE KING'' is just amazing.
