《Once We Were Anarchists》歌词

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

[00:00:05] The demonstrations got boring

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

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

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

[00:00:17] The shortcomings got clearer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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