Angry Young Man Lyrics - 12 Gardens Live - Billy Joel

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. 

He's proud of the 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. 

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 

He sits in a room with a lock on the door 

with his maps and his medals laid out of the floor 

And he likes to be known as the angry young man.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage, 

I've found that just surviving was a noble fight 

I once believed in causes too, had my pointless point of view 

Life went on no matter who was wrong or right. 

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 

His honor is pure, and his courage as well 

he's fair and he's true, and he's boring as hell 

And he'll go to his grave as an angry old man.
