[Verse 1]
I was a teenage anarchist
Lookin for revolution
          Gm
I had the style, I had the ambition
Read all the authors,
I knew the right slogans
             A#
There was no war but the class war
I was ready to set the world on fire
        Gm
I was a teenage anarchist
Lookin for revolution

[Chorus]
A# F         D#
Do  you remember?
Dm                   A#
  When you were young
And you wanted to

Set the world on fire?

[Verse 2]
Dm        A#
  I was a teenage anarchist
But the politics were too convenient
             Gm
In the depths  of their humanity
All I saw was bloodless ideology
     A#
With freedom as their doctrine
Guess who was the new authority?
        Gm
I was a teenage anarchist
                                    D# Dm A#
But the politics were too convenient      Do
F         D#
 you remember?

[Chorus]

Set the world on fire?
Dm A# F         D#
   Do  you remember?
Dm                   A#
  When you were young
And you wanted to
   F               D#
Set the world on fire?
Dm                   A#
  When you were young
And you wanted to
   F               D# Dm
Set the world on fire?

[Bridge]
A#        Gm
  I was a teenage anarchist
But then the scene got too rigid
         C
It was a mob mentality
They set their rifle sights on me
       D#
Narrow visions of autonomy
You want me to surrender my identity
        F
I was a teenage anarchist
                        D# Dm A#
The revolution was a lie      Do
F         D#
 you remember?

[Chorus]
Dm                   A#
  When you were young
And you wanted to
   F               D#
Set the world on fire?
Dm A# F         D#
   Do  you remember?
Dm                   A#
  When you were young
And you wanted to
   F               D#
Set the world on fire?
Dm                   A#
  When you were young
And you wanted to
   F               D#
Set the world on fire?
Dm                   A#
  When you were young
And you wanted to
   F               D#
Set the world on fire?

[Outro]
Dm        A#

I was a teenage anarchist
I was a teenage anarchist
I was a teenage anarchist
