Billy Joel (빌리 조엘) - Prelude/Angry Young Man
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.
And he's proud of his scars
and the battles he's lost,
And he struggles and bleeds as
he hangs on the cross-
And he likes to be knowns
as the angry young man.
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.
And he sits in a room with a lock on the door,
With his maps and
his medals laid out on the floor-
And he likes to be known
as the angry young man.
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,
And life went on no matter
who was wrong or right.
And there's always a place
for the angry young man,
With his fist in the air
and his head in the sand.
And he's never been able to
learn from mistakes,
So he can't understand
why his heart always breaks.
But his honor is pure
and his courage as well,
And 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.
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.
And he's proud of his scars
and the battles he's lost,
And he struggles and bleeds as
he hangs on the cross-
And he likes to be knowns
as the angry young man.
