Once We Were Anarchists Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Demonstrations got Gboring,

Well it was oCbvious that the government was ignoring us

It's Emhard to drag yourself through empty streets

On an eFmpty stomach with no sleep

The shortcomings got cGlearer

As the Cprice we paid got dearer and dearer

It's suEmpposed 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 lGife,

AmIsn't much worth lFiving, and I'm sure they're rGight

But it's hAmard to keep on fFighting the good fGight

When Amno one else seems Fbothered

Yeah, when Dno one's on your side

Because I'm Cyoung enough to be aDll pissed off

But I'm Gold enough to be jCaded

I'm aCt the age where I wDant things to change

But with Bmage my hopes have Cfaded

I'm yCoung and bored of being yoDung and bored

If I was Bmold I could say I've seen it Emall beDfore

In shoCrt; I'm tiDred of giving a sGhit

I've got friends who are bGankers

And it's an eCasy rhyme to call them wankers

But I mEmust say I envy the way that they live

And it's aFll; it's all take and no give

Well I'm playing the lone rGanger

CRiding to the rescue of 6 billion strangers

EmArmed with only an original song

And a sFense that something's wrong

And I Cmust admit that I'm G/Btired of saying Amno, all the tGime

Well I must aCdmit that G/BI don't really kFnow what would be rGight

And if pColitics, is hBelping other people

Then my pEmolitical cDareer is pretty fCucked

Because the tCruth is I don't like pDeople all that mGuch

The times they aren't a-cGhanging

Yeah EnCgland's still shit, and it's still raining

And evEmerybody's jaded and tired and bored

And nFo one lifts a finger, because

It's just not in our cuGlture

Our cCulture is carrion and we're all vultures

And Emno one seems bothered by the state of play

It sFeems that the stench is with us to stay

So I Amhad a go, I tFried examining lGife

It wAmasn't much worth lFiving

I guess they're rGight

And I'm tAmired of fighting the fFight that's not my fGight

AmSo is everyFbody else, we're aDll on the same side.

Because I'm Cyoung enough to be Dall pissed off

But I'm Gold enough to be jCaded

I'm Cat the age where I wDant things to change

But with Bmage my hopes have fCaded

I'm yCoung and bored of being Dyoung and bored

If I was Bmold I could say I've seen it Emall bDefore

In Cshort; I'm tDired

And in sChort; I'm probably fDired

If the rCevolution doesn't wDant me, I don't give a Gshit.
