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...
