Prelude / Angry Young Man (Live at Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY - June 1990)

Lyrics

[Part I: Prelude] [Instrumental] [Part II: Angry Young Man] [Verse 1] 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 He's always at home with his back to the wall He's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost He struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross And he likes to be known as the angry young man [Refrain] Oh-yo, oh-yo, yo [Verse 2] 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 He sits in a room with a lock on the door With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor He likes to be known as the angry young man [Bridge] 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 Life went on no matter who was wrong or right, oh [Verse 3] There's always a place for the angry young man With his fist in the air and his head in the sand He's never been able to learn from mistakes He can't understand why his heart always breaks His honor is pure, and his courage as well 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 [Synthesizer Solo] [Verse 1] Oh 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 He's always at home with his back to the wall He's proud of his scars and the battles he's lost He struggles and bleeds as he hangs on his cross And he likes to be known as the angry young man [Refrain] Oh-yo, oh-yo, yo [Part III: Prelude Reprise] [Instrumental] [Outro] Good evening, New York! Welcome to the house that Ruth built, Yankee Stadium
