Billy Joel Lyrics for Song: Prelude/Angry Young Man
 Lyrics for Album: Live At Shea Stadium: Deluxe Edition [2011]
 
 
 
 11469>There's a place in the world for the angry young man
 
 With his working class ties and his radical plans
 
 He refuses to bend he refuses to crawl
 
 And he's always at home with his back to the wall
 
 And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost
 
 And struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross
 
 And likes to be known as the angry young man
 
 
 
 Give a moment or two to the angry young man
 
 With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand
 
 He's been stabbed in the back he's been misunderstood
 
 It's a comfort to know his intentions are good
 
 And he sits in his room with a lock on the door
 
 With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor
 
 And he likes to be known as the angry young man
 
 
 
 I believe I've passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
 
 I found that just surviving was a noble fight
 
 I once believed in causes too
 
 I had my pointless point of view
 
 And life went on no matter who was wrong or right
 
 
 
 And there's always a place for the angry young man
 
 With his fist in the air and his head in the sand
 
 And he's never been able to learn from mistakes
 
 So he can't understand why his heart always breaks
 
 And his honor is pure and his courage is well
 
 And he's fair and he's true and he's boring as hell
 
 And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man
 
 
 
 Yes there's always a place for the angry young man
 
 With his working class ties and his radical plans
 
 He refuses to bend he refuses to crawl
 
 And he's always at home with his back to the wall
 
 And he's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost
 
 And struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross
 
 And likes to be known as the angry young man
