Once We Were Anarchists

de Frank Turner

Demonstrations got boring,
Well it was obvious that the government was ignoring us
It's hard to drag yourself through empty streets
On an empty stomach with no sleep
The shortcomings got clearer
As the price we paid got dearer and dearer
It's supposed to be a case of give and take
Well I was feeling the give and making the mistake
And I've heard it said the unexamined life,
Isn't much worth living, and I'm sure they're right
But it's hard to keep on fighting the good fight
When no one else seems bothered
Yeah, when no one's on your side

Because I'm young enough to be all pissed off
But I'm old enough to be jaded
I'm at the age where I want things to change
But with age my hopes have faded
I'm young and bored of being young and bored
If I was old I could say I've seen it all before
In short; I'm tired of giving a shit

I've got friends who are bankers
And it's an easy rhyme to call them wankers
But I must say I envy the way that they live
And it's all; it's all take and no give
Well I'm playing the lone ranger
Riding to the rescue with 6 billion strangers
Armed with only an original song
And a sense that something's wrong

And I must admit that I'm tired of saying no, all the time
Well I must admit that I don't really know what would be right

And if politics, is helping all the people
Then my political career is pretty fucked
Because the truth is I don't like people all that much

The times they aren't a-changing
Yeah England's still shit, and it's still raining
And everybody's jaded and tired and bored
And no one lifts a finger, because
It's just not in our culture
Our culture is carryin'
And we're all vultures
And no one seems bothered by the state of play
It seems that the stench is with us to stay
So I had a go, I tried examining life
It wasn't much worth living
I guess they're right
And I'm tired of fighting a fight that's not my fight
So is everybody else, we're all on the same side.

Because I'm young enough to be all pissed off
But I'm old enough to be jaded
I'm at the age where I want things to change
But with age my hopes have faded
I'm young and bored of being young and bored
If I was old I could say I've seen it all before
In short; I'm tired
And in short; I'm probably fired
If the revolution doesn't want me, I don't give a shit.
