I Was A Teenage Anarchist
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
Yo era un anarquista adolescente
Yo era un anarquista adolescente, buscando una revolución
Tenía el estilo, tenía la ambición
Leí a todos los autores, sabía las consignas correctas
No hubo guerra, pero la guerra de clases. Estaba listo para prender fuego al mundo
Yo era un anarquista adolescente, buscando una revolución
¿Recuerdas cuando eras joven y querías incendiar el mundo?
Yo era un anarquista adolescente, pero la política era demasiado conveniente
En las profundidades de su humanidad todo lo que vi fue una ideología sin sangre
Y con la libertad como doctrina, ¿adivina quién era la nueva autoridad?
Yo era un anarquista adolescente, pero la política era demasiado conveniente
¿Recuerdas cuando eras joven y querías incendiar el mundo?
Yo era un anarquista adolescente, pero luego la escena se volvió demasiado rígida
Era una mentalidad mafiosa, me pusieron su mira de rifle
Visiones estrechas de autonomía, quieres que me entregue mi identidad
Yo era un anarquista adolescente, la revolución era una mentira
¿Recuerdas cuando eras joven y querías incendiar el mundo?
Yo era un anarquista adolescente
