I was a Teenage Anarchist

I was a teenage Anarchist

I was a teenage anarchist
Looking for a revolution
I had the style, I had the ambition
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
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
With freedom as their 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
Do you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire
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 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 lie

Do you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire
Do you remember when you were young
And you wanted to set the world on fire
When you were young
And you wanted to set the world the fire
When you were young
And you wanted to set the world the fire

나는 10대 아나키스트였지. 
혁명을 갈구하는. 

나에겐 갈증과 야망이 있었고 
바른 말을 하는 지식인들의 저서를 닥치는대로 읽었지. 

계급투쟁 외의 투쟁은 있을 수 없었고 
나는 세계에 불을 지를 준비가 되어 있었지. 

나는 10대 아나키스트였지 
혁명을 갈구하는. 

우리 어릴 적이 기억나? 
세계에 불을 질러 버리고 싶었지. 
우리 어릴 적이 기억나? 
세계에 불을 질러 버리고 싶었지. 

나는 10대 아나키스트였지. 
하지만 정치는 너무나 편리하게 
그들의 인간성대로 돌아갔고 
냉혈한 이데올로기로 
자유라는 것이 그들의 입맛대로 쓰였지 
지금 누구에게 권력이 넘어갔는지 봐. 

나는 10대 아나키스트였지.
하지만 정치는 너무 쉽게 돌아갔어. 

우리 어릴 적이 기억나? 
세계에 불을 질러 버리려던 걸. 
우리 어릴 적이 기억나? 
세계에 불을 질러 버리려던 걸. 

나는 10대 아나키스트였지 
하지만 너무나 현실은 가혹하게 변했어. 
나는 인터넷의 좌빨로 찍혔고 
그들의 총구는 나를 겨눴지. 
그들의 협소한 관점으로 
나의 이상을 굴복시키길 원했지.

나는 10대 아나키스트였지
혁명은 거짓말이었어.

우리 어릴 적이 기억나? 
세계에 불을 질러 버리고 싶었지. 
우리 어릴 적이 기억나? 
세계에 불을 질러 버리고 싶었지
