Once We Were Anarchists - Frank Turner[00:00:00]

The demonstrations got boring[00:00:05]

Well it was obvious that the government was ignoring us [00:00:09]

It's hard to drag yourself through empty streets[00:00:12]

On an empty stomach and no sleep [00:00:15]

The shortcomings got clearer [00:00:17]

As the price we paid got dearer and dearer [00:00:21]

It's supposed to be a case of give and take –[00:00:25]

Well I was feeling the give and making a mistake [00:00:27]

And I've heard it said that the unexamined life[00:00:31]

Isn't much worth living and I'm sure they're right [00:00:37]

But it's hard to keep on fighting the good fight[00:00:43]

When no one else seems bothered yeah [00:00:49]

When no one's on your side [00:00:52]

I'm young enough to be all pissed off[00:00:55]

But I'm old enough to be jaded [00:00:58]

I'm of the age where I want things to change[00:01:01]

But with age my hopes have faded [00:01:04]

I'm young and bored of being young and bored –[00:01:08]

If I was old I could say I'd seen it all before [00:01:10]

In short I'm tired and in short[00:01:14]

I've got friends who are bankers [00:01:19]

And it's an easy rhyme to call them wankers [00:01:23]

But I must say I envy the way that they live[00:01:26]

In a style that's all take and no give [00:01:29]

While I'm playing the Lone Ranger [00:01:31]

Riding to the rescue of six billion strangers [00:01:35]

Armed with only unoriginal songs[00:01:38]

And a sense that something's wrong [00:01:41]

And I must admit that I'm tired of saying "no" all the time [00:01:44]

But I must admit that I don't really know what would be right [00:01:57]

And if politics is helping all the people[00:02:09]

Then my political career is pretty f**ked [00:02:14]

Because the truth is I don't like people all that much [00:02:21]

The times they aren't a-changing –[00:02:27]

Yeah England's still shit and it's still raining [00:02:30]

And everybody's jaded and tired and bored[00:02:34]

And no one lifts a finger because[00:02:37]

It's just not in our culture [00:02:39]

Our culture is carrion and we're all vultures [00:02:43]

And no one seems bothered by this state of play –[00:02:46]

It seems that the stench is with us to stay [00:02:49]

So I had a go I tried examining life [00:02:52]

It wasn't much worth living – I guess they're right [00:02:59]

And I'm tired of fighting a fight that's not my fight [00:03:04]

But so is everybody else – we're all on the same side [00:03:11]

I'm young enough to be all pissed off[00:03:16]

But I'm old enough to be jaded [00:03:19]

I'm of the age where I want things to change[00:03:23]

But with age my hopes have faded [00:03:26]

I'm young and bored of being young and bored –[00:03:29]

If I was old I could say I'd seen it all before [00:03:32]

In short I'm tired and in short I'm probably fired [00:03:35]

If the revolution doesn't want me I don't give a shit[00:03:41]
