Angry Young Man by Tom Springer Lyrics

Throwing bottles at the riot squads
Burning cocktails set our streets aflame
Is this violence breaking down the walls?
Is this how Dr. King overcame?

Angry young man
You don’t understand
Hate won’t make a change
Angry young man
Make a new plan
It’s not too late to change
An eye for an eye
Won’t make it right…
Listen now
Angry young man
Hold out your hand

Firing rockets at the settlers
Drawing Hellfire missiles in exchange
Will this warfare settle anything?
Is this how Mandela inspired a change?
Angry young man
You don’t understand
Hate won’t make a changе
Angry young man
Make a new plan
It’s not too late to changе
This lust for revenge
Where does it end?…
Listen now
Angry young man
Hold out your hand

Sending car bombs to the marketplace
Scores of people killed by suicide
Why give in to senseless acts of rage?
Is this how Ben Ali was put aside?

Angry young man
You don’t understand
Hate won’t make a change
Angry young man
Make a new plan
It’s not too late to change
Your bullets and bombs
Won’t right the wrongs…
Listen now
Angry young man
Hold out your hand
Your bullets and bombs
Won’t right the wrongs
Won’t make you strong…
No no
