Intro
C# F# C# G# C#
[Verse]
C#
I wake up in the morning and I drink from the fountain.
I wake up in the morning with the same unanswered questions.
F# G# C#
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.
F# G# C#
Their minds are vapid and they laugh wild in their depravity.
D#m G# C# F#
I'll make my way back home to you, head north on San Marco Avenue.
D#m G# C# F#
White crosses on the church lawn, I want to smash them all.
C# F#
I want to smash them all.
C# F# C#
Pony tails swinging back and forth behind beach blonde college girls out for a jog.
F# G# C#
Saint Augustine, shine your light down on me!
Pop hits from the 90's echo out of tourist filled bars.
F# G#
I am met with arms crossed under dirty looks, I am treated like a common
C#
thief.
[Chorus]
A#m
Eaves-dropping in on conversation, I wander aimless leering at strangers.
F# G# C#
Strung out on the amphetamines that you gave to me.
A#m
Eye-balled with suspicion by a pencil skirt in high heels,
you realize that you're talking to yourself.
F# G# C#
Cannon fire explodes out over the bay.
[Chorus]

2. I Was A# Teenage Anarchist
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
G#
I was a teenage anarchist
G#
Looking for a revolution
Fm
I had the style, I had the ambition
Fm
Read all the authors I knew the right slogans
G#
There was no war but the class war
G#
I was ready to set the world on fire
Fm
I was a teenage anarchist

Looking for a revolution
[Chorus]

Do you remember when you were young

And you wanted to set the world on fire
[Verse 2]
G#
I was a teenage anarchist
G#
But the politics were too convenient
Fm
In the depths of their humanity
Fm
All I saw was bloodless ideology
G#
With freedom as their doctrine
G#
Guess who was the new authority
Fm
I was a teenage anarchist
Fm
But the politics were too convenient
[Chorus]
G# D# C# G#
Do you remember when you were young
D# C#
And you wanted to set the world on fire

[Verse 3]
G#
I was a teenage anarchist
G#
But then the scene got too rigid
A#m
It was mob mentality
A#m
They set their rifle sights on me
C#
Narrow visions of autonomy
C#
You want me to surrender my identity
D#
I was a teenage anarchist
[stop]
The revolution was a lie
[Chorus]
G# D# C# G#
Do you remember when you were young
D# C#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G# D# C# G#
Do you remember when you were young
D# C#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G#
When you were young
D# C#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G#
When you were young
D# C#
And you wanted to set the world on fire
G#
I was a teenage anarchist (4x)
