Angry Young and Poor - Anti-Flag

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)
