Frank Turner - Once we were anarchists

^GDemonstrations got boring Well it was o^Cbvious that the government was ignoring us It's ^Emhard to drag yourself through empty streets On an e^Fmpty stomach with no sleep The shortcomings got c^Glearer As the ^Cprice we paid got dearer and dearer It's su^Empposed to be a case of give and take Well I was ^Ffeeling the give and making the mistake And I've ^Amheard it said the ^Funexamined l^Gife ^AmIsn't much worth l^Fiving and I'm sure they're ri^Gght But it's h^Amard to keep on f^Fighting the good f^Gight When ^Amno one else seems ^Fbothered Yeah when n^Do one's on your side

Because I'm ^Cyoung enough to be a^Dll pissed off But I'm ^Gold enough to be j^Caded I'm a^Ct the age where I w^Dant things to change But with ^Bmage my hopes have ^Cfaded I'm y^Coung and bored of being yo^Dung and bored If I was ^Bmold I could say I've seen it ^Emall be^Dfore In sho^Crt I'm tir^Ded of giving a sh^Git

I've got friends who are b^Gankers And it's an e^Casy rhyme to call them wankers But I m^Emust say I envy the way that they live And it's a^Fll it's all take and no give Well I'm playing the lone r^Ganger ^CRiding to the rescue of billion strangers ^EmArmed with only an original song And a s^Fense that something's wrong

And I ^Cmust admit that I'm ^G/Btired of saying ^Amno all the ti^Gme Well I must a^Cdmit that ^G/BI don't really k^Fnow what would be r^Gight And if p^Colitics is he^Blping other people Then my p^Emolitical c^Dareer is pretty f^Cucked Because the t^Cruth is I don't like p^Deople all that m^Guch

The times they aren't a-c^Ghanging Yeah En^Cgland's still shit and it's still raining And ev^Emerybody's jaded and tired and bored And n^Fo one lifts a finger because It's just not in our cu^Glture Our c^Culture is carrion and we're all vultures And ^Emno one seems bothered by the state of play It s^Feems that the stench is with us to stay So I ^Amhad a go I tr^Fied examining li^Gfe It w^Amasn't much worth l^Fiving I guess they're r^Gight And I'm t^Amired of fighting the f^Fight that's not my f^Gight ^AmSo is every^Fbody else we're al^Dl on the same side

Because I'm ^Cyoung enough to be ^Dall pissed off But I'm ^Gold enough to be j^Caded I'm ^Cat the age where I w^Dant things to change But with ^Bmage my hopes have f^Caded I'm y^Coung and bored of being ^Dyoung and bored If I was ^Bmold I could say I've seen it ^Emall b^Defore In ^Cshort I'm ti^Dred And in s^Chort I'm probably fi^Dred If the r^Cevolution doesn't w^Dant me I don't give a s^Ghit
