Originally recorded by Mad at the World in 1990 on the album Seasons of Love

lyrics

There is a place inside where we shouldn't go
It's where the anger lives 'til it overflows
It's like being someplace when you can't get out
It's like no one hears you even when you shout
It's like thunder raging loud inside your head
Anger is a bullet, gonna shoot you dead
All your love is gone away and you don't know why
But when you let hate live
Then your love will surely die

God show us a place where we can learn to love and trust
This city of anger is so very dangerous; dangerous

City of anger inside of your soul
It's like suicide when you don't let your pain go
And if you wanna hate someone then you gotta pay
'Cause the city of anger will take all your love away
Gonna take... Gonna take... Gonna take all your love away

I know you got your reasons for the way you feel
You think you're cut so deep you're never gonna heal
You say you don't like living 'cause it isn't fair
You feel so used up now you just don't care
But there's a way out of here, you go back to the start
Then you let God give to you a loving heart
This is a one-sided story of agony or glory
But it’s up to you to make your grey sky turn blue
