Gone are the days,
|
When hate filled my heart,
|
I feel now I am a happy man,
|
I laugh now at values that I had.
|
|
All through my youth,
|
I was shouting and no one would hear.
|
Blind to the ways,
|
Of the people who now I hold dear.
|
It's loud and clear.
|
|
The world is full of angry young men,
|
Chip on the shoulder,
|
An ideal in their head.
|
The world is full of angry young men,
|
Who think life owes them something,
|
But you only get out what goes in.
|
|
There was a time,
|
When I fought the worldm
|
I see now,
|
It was just an actors stage.
|
I see clear,
|
The colours through the haze.
|
|
As time goes on,
|
Your opinion will change like the weather.
|
Things that you said,
|
Now seem small,
|
They just don't seem to matter,
|
I learned for the better.
|
|
The world is full of angry young men,
|
Chip on the shoulder,
|
And an ideal in their head.
|
The world is full of angry young men,
|
Who think life owes them something,
|
But you only get out what goes in.
|
|
There was a time I was lost in the dark,
|
I ran a race I didn't know where to start.
|
Now I've changed my ways,
|
Seeing better days,
|
I'm turning my world upside down.
|
|
The world is full of angry young men,
|
Chip on the shoulder,
|
And an ideal in their head.
|
The world is full of angry young men,
|
Who think life owes them something,
|
But you only get out what goes in.
|
|
Angry young men,
|
What you put in is what you get out.
