An Angry Young Man

He was born on a Sunday

In a one-room rent

His daddy left on Monday

Didn't leave them a cent

So the mother blamed the child

For messin' up her plans

And now he's growing up an angry young man

He got an education

From out on the street

He despised the wealthy

And those who were weak

'Cause he was thrown into a world

That he didn't understand

So he became known as an angry young man

He never made friends with anybody

Couldn't get through inferiority barriers

So most of the time now he spent drinking

Then he met a girl named Sally Lincoln, marry her

So the night turned into morning

As skies turned blue

Now he can see the sunshine

Happiness was shining through

And it was so strange how it happened

But when she gave him her hand

Together, they both married an angry young man
