Greyskye's Journal - Angry Old Man

With apologies to Billy Joel.

There's a place in the world for the angry ~~young~~ old man
With his ~~working class~~ military ties and his ~~radical~~ neo-con plans
He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl,
And 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 his cross-
And he likes to be known as the angry ~~young~~ old man.

Give a moment or two to the angry ~~young~~ old 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~~ old 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. OHHHHHHHH

And there's always a place for the angry ~~young~~ old 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.
And his honor's not pure or his courage as well,
And he's not fair or true and he's boring as hell-
And he'll go to the grave as an angry old man.

There's always a place for the angry ~~young~~ old man
With his military ties and his neo-con plans
He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl,
And 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 his cross-
And he likes to be known as the angry ~~young~~ old man.
