Gone are the days

When hate filled my heart

I feel now I am a happy man

I laugh now at values that I had

All through my youth

I was shouting and no one would hear

Blind to the ways

Of the people who now I hold dear

It's loud and clear



The world is full of angry young men

Chip on the shoulder,

An ideal in their head

The world is full of angry young men

Who think life owes them something

But you only get out what goes in



There was a time

When I fought the world

I see now

It was just an act to stage

I see clear

The colours through the haze



As time goes on

Your opinion will change like the weather

Things that you said

Now seem small

They just don't seem to matter

I look for the better



The world is full of angry young men

Chip on the shoulder,

And an ideal in their head

The world is full of angry young men

Who think life owes them something

But you only get out what goes in



There was a time I was lost in the dark

I ran a race I didn't know where to start

Now I've changed my ways

Seeing better days

I'm turning my world upside down



The world is full of angry young men

Chip on the shoulder

And an ideal in their head

The world is full of angry young men

Who think life owes them something

But you only get out what goes in



Angry young men

What you put in is what you get out
