Once We Were Anarchists

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

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

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

      C                   G/B             Am           G 
And I must admit that I'm tired of saying no, all the time 
             C         G/B             F                  G 
Well I must admit that I don't really know what would be right 
        C            B 
And if politics, is helping other people 
         Em        D                C 
Then my political career is pretty fucked 
             C                     D               G 
Because the truth is I don't like people all that much 

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

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