I had the style, I had the ambition
             D5                         A5
Read all the authors I knew the right slogans
              D5                 A5
There was no war but the class war

I was a teenage anarchist
         D5                  A5
But the politics were too convenient
        A5                D5    A5
In the depths of their humanity
       A5                D5     A5
All I saw was bloodless ideology
       A5               D5     A5
With freedom as their doctrine
          A5               D5  A5
Guess who was the new authority
          D5           A5

I was a teenage anarchist
               D5              A5
But then the scene got too rigid
        A5         D5
It was mob mentality
      A5               D5        A5
They set their rifle sights on me
        A5           D5    A5
Narrow visions of autonomy
                  A5           D5    A5
You want me to surrender my identity
