Cover art for Angry Young Man lyrics by Billy Joel

I think this is more about the idea that we need those people who will fight for their causes, fight for things to be better. But it might be better to be the guy who figures out that somethings can't be fought and are better left to someone with a more noble fight for it.

Sure, the angry young man ends up bitter, but I think he's fighting for every cause under the sun rather than those that he can actually affect.
