I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution.
|
I had the style, I had the ambition.
|
I 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 a revolution.
|
|
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.
|
And with freedom as the 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?
|
|
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 identity.
|
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?
|
|
I was a teenage anarchist.
