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

Guess who was the new authority

I was a teenage anarchist

But the politics were too convenient

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