about

We all know these people who were punk and rebellious back when they were young, but they somehow strayed from that path. "I was a teenage anarchist". With growing up I never lost the urge to speak out, or to rebel against. I am still that teenage anarchist/socialist, but I do sometimes miss those "simpler" times from my youth.

lyrics

When the flags burn- do you burn yours too?
Was it a phase you wished to erase – was this never meant for you?

We follow different paths and I can’t judge that
But sometimes I crave for more – a little more rebelliousness
When we were young our thoughts aligned.
I still remember – we felt revolution was our right.

When the walls fall – I’d like you here.
The cliché happened to you – your views narrowed with the years.

Sometimes I feel nostalgic to those simpler times.
The nightly discussions – loving your rants
Reading Bakunin – and drinking in the park.

We follow different paths and I can’t judge that.
But sometimes I crave for more – a little more rebelliousness
When we were young our thoughts aligned .
I still remember – we felt revolution was our right. I still fucking do.
