Anti-Flag - Angry, young and poor

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!

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!

Don't know where to turn
Don't know what to do... Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!

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!

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

Angry, young and poor!
Angry, young and pissed!
Angry no one cares!
