Angry Man (Song 0388)

I must stress that this is not a true story, but probably inspired by films, work and the pun (‘fired’).Verse 1
I should be free  (angry man!)
But I’m a slave  (angry man!)
I’m a man who’s trapped….
Like an animal in a cage.

Verse 2
I’ve worked hard  (angry man!)
And got a brain  (angry man!)
But without time….
Feel I’ll go insane.

Chorus
I need time and
I need space
I’ve gotta get out
Of this place
I’ve gotta do
What I desire
But my stress has turned to anger
My gun’s loaded and…
I’m ready to fire.

Verse 2
We all need money  (angry man!)
To pay the bills  (angry man!)
We’re slaves to the pound….
In life there’s no thrills.

Verse 4
If I don’t escape  (angry man!)
I’ll make a mistake  (angry man!)
Maybe reach for the pills…
Feel I’m gonna break.

Chorus
I need time and
I need space
I’ve gotta get out
Of this place
Gotta do
What I desire
But my stress has turned to anger
My gun is loaded and…
Ready to fire.

Bridge
Then the time come
Pointed my loaded gun
And said what was on my mind
Now it’s all history
Put it all behind me
I was sacked in fact…
But at least I was free.

Chorus
I needed time and
I needed space
I finally got out
Of the place
Now I’m gonna do
What I desire
My stress turned to anger
My gun was loaded, but
I didn’t shoot
Instead I was fired.

“Can anyone lend me some money?”
