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

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

When you were young
G F
And you wanted to set the world on fire
C
I was a teenage anarchist (4x)
