21st Century Breakdown

Born into Nixon I was raised in hell

A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled

The last one born, and the first one to run

My town was blind from refinery sunMy generation is zero

I never made it as a working class hero21st century breakdown

I once was lost but never was found

I think I am losing what's left of my mind

To the 20th century deadlineI was made of poison and blood

Condemnation is what I understood

Video games to the tower's fall

Homeland security could kill us allMy generation is zero

I never made it as a working class hero21st century breakdown

I once was lost but never was found

I think I am losing what's left of my mind

To the 20th century deadlineWe are the class of, the class of 13

Born in the era of humility

We are the desperate in the decline

Raised by the bastards of 1969My name is no one

The long lost son

Born on the 4th of JulyRaised in the era of heroes and cons

That left me for dead or aliveI am a nation

A worker of pride

My debt to the status quoThe scars on my hands

And the means to an end

Is all that I have to showI swallowed my pride

And I choked on my faith

I've given my heart and my soul

I've broken my fingers

And lied through my teeth

The pillar of damage controlI've been to the edge

And I've thrown the bouquet

Of flowers left over from the grave

I sat in the waiting room

Wasting my time

And waiting for Judgment DayI praise liberty

The "freedom to obey"

Is the song that strangles me

Well don't cross the lineOh dream, America, dream

I can't even sleep

From the light's early dawnOh scream, America, scream

Believe what you see

From heroes and cons

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
