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

Capo 3
[Verse 1]
D#
I was a teenage anarchist
D#
Looking for a revolution

D#
I was a teenage anarchist
D#
But the politics were too convenient
Cm
In the depths of their humanity
Cm
All I saw was bloodless ideology
D#
With freedom as their doctrine
D#
Guess who was the new authority
Cm
I was a teenage anarchist
Cm
But the politics were too convenient
[Chorus]

Do you remember when you were young

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