Another Angry Young Man Goes Ignored By His Imaginary Public

I’m angry
I’m angry
And I don’t know why
I’m angry, I’m angry
‘Cause I’m gonna die
I’m angry, I’m angry
‘Cause I kissed the veil
I’m angry, I’m angry
Lost my heart in a sale

I’m walkin’ around
Beating my head against
Everyone else’s wall
I don’t even know the right way
To be angry after all

I’m angry…
Let it first be me
I’m angry…
At society
I’m angry…
Gonna shatter some bone
I’m angry…
In this forest of stone

I’m angry…
May the force desert you
I’m angry…
‘Cause I can’t hurt you
I’m angry…
The germ is encoded
I’m angry, so angry
My pants exploded

From now on,
Who you gonna knock around?
After the death of it all,
Who you gonna burn alive in quittin’ town?
