Intro
A D A E 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 E 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 E A
Their minds are vapid and they laugh wild in their depravity.
Bm E A D
I'll make my way back home to you, head north on San Marco Avenue.
Bm E 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 E A
Saint Augustine, shine your light down on me!
Pop hits from the 90's echo out of tourist filled bars.
D E
I am met with arms crossed under dirty looks, I am treated like a common
A
thief.
[Chorus]
F#m
Eaves-dropping in on conversation, I wander aimless leering at strangers.
D E A
Strung out on the amphetamines that you gave to me.
F#m
Eye-balled with suspicion by a pencil skirt in high heels,
you realize that you're talking to yourself.
D E A
Cannon fire explodes out over the bay.
[Chorus]

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