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
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
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 u.s.a.'s youth
But when it comes time to put up,
their rhetoric falls back on every excuse every excuse,
every excuse...
