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 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 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 U.S.A.'s youth But when it comes time to put up, Their rhetoric falls back on every excuse Every excuse, every excuse
