Island of Anger
It's a beautiful world filled with stupid people
Beating each other's brains out like the cavemen did
But I'm stuck right here
Wondering why I can't do what the brave men did
Oh, don't I know, this ain't no way to live
When everything I see and hear makes me mad
And there's no silver lining
The stuff that doesn't make me angry makes me sad
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
Hard to believe the things I did
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
Wondering now why I'm not free
Wondering how I came to be
An island of anger in a sea of love
And love rules, this much I understand
But all the ones who live for peace, die for it
Still, somehow that message comes
And every day I struggle to decipher it
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
Hard to believe the things I did
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
Wondering now why I'm not free
Wondering how I came to be
An island of anger in a sea of love
Younger by half, I was quick to laugh
Hopeful and alive to what might come
Where's my spark? Skies so dark
All I seem to hear is a distant drum
Ooh-ooh
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
Hard to believe the things I did
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
Wondering now why I'm not free
Wondering how I came to be
An island of anger in a sea of love
Hard to believe that time's so short
Hard to believe I'm still in port
Dying to set a different sort of course
Wondering now how I'll get free
And how I become a refugee
From an island of anger in a sea of love
Love
Beating each other's brains out like the cavemen did
But I'm stuck right here
Wondering why I can't do what the brave men did
Oh, don't I know, this ain't no way to live
When everything I see and hear makes me mad
And there's no silver lining
The stuff that doesn't make me angry makes me sad
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
Hard to believe the things I did
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
Wondering now why I'm not free
Wondering how I came to be
An island of anger in a sea of love
And love rules, this much I understand
But all the ones who live for peace, die for it
Still, somehow that message comes
And every day I struggle to decipher it
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
Hard to believe the things I did
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
Wondering now why I'm not free
Wondering how I came to be
An island of anger in a sea of love
Younger by half, I was quick to laugh
Hopeful and alive to what might come
Where's my spark? Skies so dark
All I seem to hear is a distant drum
Ooh-ooh
Hard to believe I'm not a kid
Hard to believe the things I did
Hard to believe the ways I hid my love
Wondering now why I'm not free
Wondering how I came to be
An island of anger in a sea of love
Hard to believe that time's so short
Hard to believe I'm still in port
Dying to set a different sort of course
Wondering now how I'll get free
And how I become a refugee
From an island of anger in a sea of love
Love
