P.O.D. - Youth Of The Nation Lyrics
The last day of the rest of my lifeI wish i would've known,Cause i would've kissed my mama goodbyeI didn't tell her that i loved her and how much i careOr thank my pops for all the talks,And all the wisdom he sharedUnaware, I just did what i always doEveryday, the same routineBefore I skate off to schoolWho knew that this day wasn't like the restInstead of taking the test,I took two to the chestCall me blind, but I didn't see it comingEverybody was runningBut I couldn't hear nothingExcept gun blasts, it happened so fastI didn't really know this kidThough I sit by him in classMaybe this kid was reaching out for loveOr maybe for a moment,He forgot who he was.Or maybe this kid just wanted to be huggedWhatever it was,I know it's becauseChorus:We are, we are.... the youth of the nationWe are, we are.... youth of the nationWe are, we are.... the youth of the nationWe are, we are.... youth of the nationLittle suzy, she was only twelveShe was given the whirlWith every chance to excelHang with the boys and hear the stories they tellShe might act kind of proudBut no respect for herselfShe finds love in all the wrong placesThe same situationsJust with different facesChanged up her pace since her daddy left herToo bad he never told herShe deserved much better.Johnny boy always played the foolHe broke all the rulesSo you would think he was coolHe was never really one of the guysNo matter how hard he triedOften thought of suicideIt's kind of hard when you ain't got no friendsHe put his life to an endThey might remember him thenYou cross the line and there's no turning backTold the world how he feltWith the sound of a gatChorusWho's to blame for the lives that tragedies claimNo matter what you sayIt don't take away the painThat i feel inside, i'm tired of all the liesDon't nobody know whyIt's the blind leading the blindI guess that's the way the story goesWill it ever make senseSomebody's got to knowThere's got to be more to life than thisThere's got to be more to everythingI thought existsChorus
