Angry Man
Saint Vitus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't need the madness that society breeds
I don't need the pressure comin' down on me
Why must you always stare,
I ain't no fucking clown
Just want to live without somebody
Bringing me down

All I want is
To live my life
Easy and free
I don't need
No human bullshit
Prejudice, down on me

Everywhere I wander,
I stick out in the crowd
Constantly fight for relief,
Abuse from all around
Now my mind is twisting,
Contemplating revenge
But I won't stoop to their level,
I refuse to be like them

All I want is
To live my life
Easy and free
I don't need
No human bullshit
Prejudice, down on me

Hard for me to be happy
With sadness all around
Real easy to be angry,
Ain't no problem to frown
you'll have to prove to me
That what I say is a lie
Cause all I see is hatred
Splashed before my eyes

All I want is
To live my life
Easy and free
I don't need




No human bullshit
Prejudice, down on me

I don't need the pressure comin' down on me
Why must you always stare, I ain't no fucking clown
Just want to live without somebody bringing me down

Real easy to be angry, ain't no problem to frown
You'll have to prove to me that what I say is a lie
