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
