Intro
D G D A D
[Verse]
D
I wake up in the morning and I drink from the fountain.
I wake up in the morning with the same unanswered questions.
G A D
I don't know what's going to cure my unsettled stomach.
Street kids collect spare change in a conch shell on the side walk;
their teeth are yellow, their hair is tangled.
G A D
Their minds are vapid and they laugh wild in their depravity.
Em A D G
I'll make my way back home to you, head north on San Marco Avenue.
Em A D G
White crosses on the church lawn, I want to smash them all.
D G
I want to smash them all.
D G D
Pony tails swinging back and forth behind beach blonde college girls out for a jog.
G A D
Saint Augustine, shine your light down on me!
Pop hits from the 90's echo out of tourist filled bars.
G A
I am met with arms crossed under dirty looks, I am treated like a common
D
thief.
[Chorus]
Bm
Eaves-dropping in on conversation, I wander aimless leering at strangers.
G A D
Strung out on the amphetamines that you gave to me.
Bm
Eye-balled with suspicion by a pencil skirt in high heels,
you realize that you're talking to yourself.
G A D
Cannon fire explodes out over the bay.
[Chorus]

Narrow visions of autonomy

You want me to surrender my identity
E
I was a teenage anarchist
[stop]
The revolution was a lie
[Chorus]
A E D A
Do you remember when you were young
E D
And you wanted to set the world on fire
