The World Is Full Of Angry Young Men

XTC · Other Songs - XTC

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 actors stage

I see clear,

The colors 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 learned 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
