There's a place in the world for the angry young man
|
With his working class ties and his radical plans
|
He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl,
|
He's always at home with his back to the wall.
|
He's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost,
|
He struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross
|
And he likes to be known as the angry young man.
|
|
Oh, yo, oh yo yo oh
|
|
Give a moment or two to the angry young man,
|
With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand.
|
He's been stabbed in the back, he's been misunderstood,
|
It's a comfort to know his intentions are good.
|
And he sits in a room with a lock on the door,
|
With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor
|
And he likes to be known as the angry young man.
|
|
I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
|
I found that just surviving was a noble fight.
|
I once believed in causes too, I had my pointless point of view
|
Life went on no matter who was wrong or right, ohhhhh
|
|
And there's always a place for the angry young man,
|
With his fist in the air and his head in the sand.
|
He's never been able to learn from mistakes,
|
He can't understand why his heart always breaks.
|
But his honor is pure and his courage as well,
|
And he's fair and he's true and HE’S BORING AS HELL!
|
And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man.
|
|
And there's always a place for the angry young man
|
With his working class ties and his radical plans
|
He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl,
|
He's always at home with his back to the wall.
|
He's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost,
|
Struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross
|
And he likes to be known as the angry young man.
|
|
Oh, yo, oh yo yo oh
