I Was A Teenage Anarchist Lyrics - White Crosses - Against Me!

I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution. 

I had the style, I had the ambition. 

I read all the authors, I knew the right slogans. 

There was no war but the class war. 

I was ready to set the world on fire. 

I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution. 

Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire? 

I was a teenage anarchist, but the politics were too convenient. 

In the depths of their humanity all I saw was bloodless ideology. 

And with freedom as the doctrine, guess who was the new authority? 

I was a teenage anarchist, but the politics were too convenient. 

Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire? 

I was a teenage anarchist, but then the scene got too rigid. 

It was a mob mentality, they set their rifle sights on me. 

Narrow visions of autonomy, you want me to surrender my identity. 

I was a teenage anarchist, the revolution was a lie. 

Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire? 

I was a teenage anarchist.
