Once We Were Anarchists Frank Turner

[Verse 1]
The 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 and 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 a mistake

[Pre-Chorus]
And I’ve heard it said that 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

[Chorus]
I’m young enough to be all pissed off
But I’m old enough to be jaded
I’m of 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’d seen it all before
In short, I’m tired of giving a shit
