Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown Lyrics
Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell.A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled.The last one born, the first one to run.My town was blind from refinery sun.My generation is zero.I never made it as a working class hero.21st century breakdown.I once was lost but never was found.I think I'm losing what's left of my mindTo the 20th century deadline.I was made of poison and blood.Condemnation is what I understood.Videogames of the tower's fall.Homeland security could kill us all.My generation is zero.I never made it as a working class hero.21st century breakdown.I once was lost but never was found.I think I'm losing what's left of my mindTo the 20th century deadline.We are the class of the class of 13'.Born in the era of humility.We are the desperate and in the decline.Raised by the bastards of 1969.My name is 'no one' the long lost son.Born on the 4th of July.Raised in a era of heroes and cons.That lept me for dead or alife.I am a nation, a worker, a pawn.My debt to the status quo.The scars on my hands are the means to an end.It's all that I have to show.I swallowed my prideAnd I choked on my faithI've given my heart and my soulI've broken my fingersAnd lied throught my teethThe pillar of damage controlI've been to the edgeAnd I've thrown the bouquetOf flowers lept over the graveI sat in the waiting roomWaisting my timeAnd waiting for judgement dayPraise, LibertyThe freedom to obeyIt's a song that strangles meWell, don't cross the lineOh dream, American dream.I can't even sleepFrom the light's early dawnOh scream, America scream.Believe what you seeFrom heroes and cons.
