<b>I Was A Teenage Anarchist</b> by <i>Against Me!</i><br /> was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution.<br />

I had the style, I had the ambition.<br />

I read all the authors, I knew the right slogans.<br />

There was no war but the class war.<br />

I was ready to set the world on fire.<br />

I was a teenage anarchist, looking for a revolution.<br />

<br />

Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?<br />

<br />

I was a teenage anarchist, but the politics were too convenient.<br />

In the depths of their humanity all I saw was bloodless ideology.<br />

And with freedom as the doctrine, guess who was the new authority?<br />

I was a teenage anarchist, but the politics were too convenient.<br />

<br />

Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?<br />

<br />

I was a teenage anarchist, but then the scene got too rigid.<br />

It was a mob mentality, they set their rifle sights on me.<br />

Narrow visions of autonomy, you want me to surrender my identity.<br />

I was a teenage anarchist, the revolution was a lie.<br />

<br />

Do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?<br />

<br />

I was a teenage anarchist.
