i was a teenage anarchist

Lyrics

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.
