I Was A Teenage Anarchist *Acoustic Songtext / Lyric

I was a teenage anarchist

Looking for revolution

I had the style, I had the ambition

Read all the authors, I knew the right slogans



There was no war but the class war

I was ready to set the world on fire

I was a teenage anarchist

Looking for revolution



Do you remember

When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?

Do you remember

When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?



I was a teenage anarchist

But the politics were too convenient

In the depths of their humanity

All I saw was bloodless ideology






With freedom as their doctrine

Guess who was the new authority

I was a teenage anarchist

But the politics were too convenient



Do you remember

When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?

Do you remember

When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?



When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire



I was a teenage anarchist

But then the scene got too rigid

It was a mob mentality

They set their rifle sights on me



Narrow visions of autonomy

You want me to surrender my deity

I was a teenage anarchist

The revolution was a lie



Do you remember

When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?

Do you remember

When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?



When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire

When you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire



I was a teenage anarchist

I was a teenage anarchist

I was a teenage anarchist

I was a teenage anarchist
