You've got a right to be angry

(alexander/badlees)

You've got a right to complain



But just being right

You've got a right to be angry

Ain't gonna change anything

You've got a right to complain

You want understanding

But just being right

Without saying a word

Ain't gonna change anything

You want admiration



Even though it's undeserved

You want understanding



Without saying a word

It ain't no secret

You want admiration

Time took it's toll

Even though it's undeserved

I can't believe it



We're gettin' old

It ain't no secret



Time took its toll

One of us should stand up

I can't believe it

One of us should scream

We're gettin' old

One of us should step out



And say just what he means

One of us should stand up

one of us should say

One of us should scream

just what it is wr're fighting for

One of us should step out

but no one says nothing much

And say just what he means

of anything no more

One of us should say



Just what it is were fighting for

we all have defenses

But no one says nothing much

and opinions to sell

Of anything no more

we all have our methods



of defending ourselves

We all have defenses

but there's nothing as lifeless

And opinions to sell

as a tree that don't bend

We all have our methods

there's nothing as worthless

Of defending ourselves

as a fair weathered friend





But there's nothing as lifeless

it ain't no secret

As a tree that don't bend

time took it's toll

There's nothing as worthless

i can't believe it

As a fair weathered friend

we're gettin' old





It ain't no secret

one of us should get up

Time took its toll

one of us should say

I can't believe it

one of us should get out

We're gettin' old

of the other one's way



one of us should face up

One of us should get up

to what no one can ignore

One of us should say

but no one does nothing more

One of us should get out

of anything no more

Of the other one's way



One of us should face up

i am he as you are he

To what no one can ignore

as you are me, but we just disagree

But no one does nothing much

now i ain't anything

Of anything no more





and it's a world full of anger

I am he as you are he

it's a world full of pain

As you are me, but we disagree

it's a world full of people

Now it ain't anything

lookin' for someone else to blame



but it don't make no difference

And it's a world full of anger

if it don't make no sense

It's a world full of pain

'cause the world goes on a changing

It's a world full of people

with or without our consent

Lookin' for someone else to blame





it ain't no secret

But it don't make no difference

time took it's toll

If it don't make no sense

i can't believe it

'cause the world goes on a changing

we're gettin' old

With or without our consent





if one of us was angry

It ain't no secret

if one of us was sad

Time took it's toll

if one of us was guilty

I can't believe it

it might not be that bad

We're gettin' old

if one of us was anything



we might know something more

If one of us was angry

but no one is nothing much

If one of us was sad

of anything no more

If one of us was guilty

It might not be that bad

If one of us was anything

We might know something more

But no one is nothing much

Of anything no more
