Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man) Lyrics By Styx

    dennis deyoung
    relax take it easy

    tommy shaw
    you see the world through your cynical eyes
    you’re a troubled young man i can tell
    you got it all in the palm of your hand
    but your hand’s wet with sweat and your head needs a rest

    tommy shaw
    and you’re fooling yourself if you don’t believe it
    you’re kidding yourself if you don’t believe it

    tommy shaw
    why must you be such an angry young man
    when your future looks quite bright to me
    and how can there be such a sinister plan
    that could hide such a lamb such a caring young man

    tommy shaw
    and you’re fooling yourself if you don’t believe it
    you’re killing yourself if you don’t believe it
    get up get up get back on your feet
    you’re the one they can’t beat and you know it
    yeah come on come on let’s see what you’ve got
    just take your best shot and don’t blow it
    whoa whoa whoa whoa
    oh oh oh oh oh oh

    tommy shaw
    and you’re fooling yourself if you don’t believe it
    you’re killing yourself if you don’t believe it
    get up get up get back on your feet
    you’re the one they can’t beat and you know it
    oh come on come on let’s see what you’ve got
    just take your best shot and don’t blow it
    whoa whoa whoa whoa
    oh oh oh oh oh oh
