start lyrics

he knows he'll be alone tonight
lack of hope leaves him feeling violent
it's not that he's looking for a fight, it's just...
while contemplating, "What can i do?"
more stress than help, from home and school
he don't know where to turn
and on the streets his life's out of control...
chorus:
angry, young and pissed
angry, young and poor
Angry no one cares
She never even had a chance
not once she heard an encouraging word
just the phrase, "you better shut up!" and "you're going nowhere!"
sexual, mental, physical violence
so her life became something, so out of control...
her sad stories, all left untold
chorus:
angry, young and pissed
angry no one cares
don't know what to do...
angry, young and poor
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
don't know where to turn
every excuse, every excuse...
