Silence is a rope hanging around your neck
And I watch you choke on your self-respect
Now distortion is my new frame of mind
As I stagger through this mine field blind

And it just keeps gettin' worse
And it feels like hell on earth

The angry youth, don't wanna be the president
The angry youth, don't wanna be the king
When it comes to the truth (it don't mean nothing)
Cause nothing means everything to me

Now this heavy wagon is too much to drag
And it's ripping me to pieces like a rag

And it just keeps gettin' worse
And it feels like hell on earth

The angry youth, don't wanna be the president
The angry youth, don't wanna be the king
When it comes to the truth (it don't mean nothing)
Cause nothing means everything to me

Now they watch you crawl, laughing as you cry
Petty tyrants fall if they wait for us to die
Silence is their rope, now we're bound and gagged
And our only hope is if it breaks while we are dragged

And it just keeps gettin' worse
And it feels like hell on earth

The angry youth, don't wanna be the president
The angry youth, don't wanna be the king
When it comes to the truth (it don't mean nothing)
Cause nothing means everything to me
The angry youth, don't wanna be the president
The angry youth, don't wanna be the king
When it comes to the truth (it don't mean nothing)
Cause nothing means everything to me
