Angry Young Man

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 change
Angry young man, make a new plan
It's not too late to change
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
