Andy Gullahorn Anger's Gonna Take You Places Lyrics

He walked home with a limp
From the first day of third grade
A mile and a half across the tracks
The sky was spittin' rain

A truck was in the driveway
A suitcase at the door
The man mother said to be aware of
Was smoking on the porch

He had a three inch scar from his ear
To the corner of his smile
He said to the boy
What's wrong with you
Don't tell me you've been crying
You gotta stand up to them bullies, kid
Real men don't run scared
You gotta harness all that rage
If you wanna get somewhere

[Chorus]
Your anger's gonna take you places
Your anger's gonna takе you places
Your anger's gonna take you

Wеll, he was angry at his family
He was angry at the world
He was a little socially awkward
Especially with the girls

He went looking for connection
And he found it there online
All the Facebook groups and Reddit boards
And porn that you could find

'Cause life had never felt that fair to him
And it did not seem right
To say that he had privileges
Just from being white

So, he joined up with some brothers
Who were sticking to his pain
Saying lets take back America
And make it great again
[Chorus] Your anger's gonna take you places
Your anger's gonna take you places
Your anger's gonna take you

Your anger's gonna take you places
Your anger's gonna take you places
Your anger's gonna take you

Well, they met outside of Charlottesville
To plan the protest out
They all put on their white shirts
And they headed into town

There were people just like bullies
Who were yelling in his face
And the hate was like a pressure cooker
Turned up all the way

When the march was over
It did not feel like a win
Just another checkmark on the list
Of getting robbed again

So he got into his Challenger
The voices were so loud
He saw the crowd near Water Street
And slammed the pedal down
[Chorus]
Your anger's gonna take you places
Your anger's gonna take you

Your anger's gonna take you places
Your anger's gonna take you places
Your anger

Now he don't get many visitors
Of people from his past
But one day he saw that three inch scar
Looking through the glass

He said you filled my head with half-truths
But the half you never told
Is that anger's gonna take you places
You don't want to go
