Anti-flag Start Lyrics

Start Lyrics

he knows he'll be alone tonight 

while contemplating, "What can i do?" 

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... 

chorus: 

angry, young and poor 

angry, young and pissed 

Angry no one cares 

She never even had a chance 

sexual, mental, 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... 

chorus: 

angry, young and poor 

angry, young and pissed 

angry 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 on every excuse 

every excuse, every excuse...
