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 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
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 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
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
