He knows he'll be alone tonight
While contemplating, 'What can I do?'
Lack of hope leaves him feeling violent

Its 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...


Chorus
Angry Young and Poor
Angry Young and Pissed

Angry and no one cares

She never even had a chance

Mental, sexual, physical violence
Not once she heard an encouraging word
Just the phase, 'You better shut up!' and,

'You're going nowhere!'

Her sad stories, all left untold

And so her life became something, so out of control...

Chorus

Angry Young and Poor
Angry Young and Pissed
Angry and no one cares

Don't know where to turn
Don't know what to do...


Politicians talk it up, about their love, for the USA's
youth
But when it comes time to put up, their rhetoric falls back

onevery excuse
Every excuse, every excuse...


Chorus
