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

B
I was a teenage anarchist

But the politics were too convenient
G#m
In the depths of their humanity
G#m
All I saw was bloodless ideology
B
With freedom as their doctrine
B
Guess who was the new authority
G#m
I was a teenage anarchist
G#m
But the politics were too convenient
[Chorus]
B F# E B
Do you remember when you were young

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