The World Is Full Of Angry Young Men Lyrics - Xtc

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 

[Chorus:] 

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 world 

I see now 

It was just an act to stage 

I see clear 

The colors 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 look for the better 

[Chorus] 

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 

[Chorus] 

Angry young men 

What you put in is what you get out
