I hated school, never opened my mouth
Breaking out windows and prone to kick chairs
My teachers were fools, they didn't understand
They only wanted me to cut my hair
I hated Lyndon Johnson, glad when he died
That bastard tried to send me to Nam
I never even knew what Communism was
My mother told me to just stay calm
I was an angry young man
Then I was an angry middle-age man
Now I'm an angry old man
Angry Man, Angry Man
I didn't wanna work, I wanted to be rich
Throwing temper tantrums like a mad psycho
My mother-in-law was a horrible hag
My wife told me just go with the flow
I freaked out when divorce papers came
Laid on the phone like a screaming banchee
Her lawyer's suit threw me into a rage
I hated that dude for questioning me
I was an angry young man
Then I was an angry middle-age man
Now I'm an angry old man
Angry Man, Angry Man
I hate rap music and those who make it
I can't get young girls, they call me grandpa
I oppose gay marriage, I just can't take it
I hate the police and love kicking dogs
Mad at the world for rejecting me
I sit in traffic and cuss a blue streak
Angry at God, don't wanna go to hell
The future's getting shorter even as I speak
I was an angry young man
Then I was an angry middle-age man
Now I'm an angry old man
Angry Man, Angry Man
