lyrics

I don't wanna end up an angry old white man/cursing at the world passing me by and/looking back sad, forward frightened/ I don't wanna end up an angry old white man

ooooo, what do you do/to break the chain to keep it from coming true?/ ooooo, the risk you run/ when the thing you hate is the thing you will become

I don't wanna end up an angry old white man/cursing at the world passing me by and/looking back sad, forward frightened/ I don't wanna end up an angry old white man/ I don't wanna hurt my kids and wife and/pretend it's forgotten with the passing of time, man/time goes by but it's not alright and/I don't wanna end up an angry old white man

ooooo, help me understand/ the good and the bad in the man/oooo, help me see/how easily I could be/standing in the mess of the mistakes I made/shaking my fist searching for blame/smashing at the mirror as my vision fades/all I can say is "no way, man!"

I don't wanna end up an angry old white man/cursing at the world passing me by and/looking back sad, forward frightened/ I don't wanna end up an angry old white man/ I don't wanna end up and angry old white man/ I'm not gonna end up an angry old white man/ alright then
