(Lyrics to "Angry Young Man")
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,
And he's always at home
with his back to the wall
And he's proud of the scars
and the battles he's lost
And he struggles and bleeds
as he hangs on the cross
And he likes to be known
as the angry young man
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 the 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,
And life went on no matter
who was wrong or right, oh
There's always a place
for the angry young man,
With his fist in the air
and his head in the sand
And he's never been able
to learn from mistakes,
So 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
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,
And he's always at home
with his back to the wall
And he's proud of the scars
and the battles he's lost
And he struggles and bleeds
as he hangs on the cross
And he likes to be known
as the angry young man
