Anti-Flag - Angry, Young and Poor lyrics
[Anti-Flag - Angry, Young and Poor lyrics]
(Go, Hey)
(Aw yeah, Go)
He knows he'll be alone tonight
While contemplating, "What can I do?"
The lack of hope leaves him feeling violent
It's not that he's looking for a fight
It's just he don't know where to turn
More stress than help from home and school
And on the streets his life's out of control
Angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(Oh) angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(No)
She never even had a chance:
Mental, sexual, physical violence
Not once she heard an encouraging word
Just the phrase "You better shut up!"
And "You're going nowhere!" her sad stories
All left untold so her life became something
So out of control
Angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(Oh) angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(No)
Don't know where to turn
Don't know what to do
Angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(No)
Politicians talk it up
About their love for the USA's youth
But when it comes time to put up
Their rhetoric falls back on every excuse
Every excuse every excuse
Angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(Oh) angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(No)
Don't know where to turn
Don't know what to do
Angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(Oh, Oh whoa)
(Aw yeah, Go)
He knows he'll be alone tonight
While contemplating, "What can I do?"
The lack of hope leaves him feeling violent
It's not that he's looking for a fight
It's just he don't know where to turn
More stress than help from home and school
And on the streets his life's out of control
Angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(Oh) angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(No)
She never even had a chance:
Mental, sexual, physical violence
Not once she heard an encouraging word
Just the phrase "You better shut up!"
And "You're going nowhere!" her sad stories
All left untold so her life became something
So out of control
Angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(Oh) angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(No)
Don't know where to turn
Don't know what to do
Angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(No)
Politicians talk it up
About their love for the USA's youth
But when it comes time to put up
Their rhetoric falls back on every excuse
Every excuse every excuse
Angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(Oh) angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(No)
Don't know where to turn
Don't know what to do
Angry, young, and poor
Angry, young, and pissed angry no one cares
(Oh, Oh whoa)
