Youth of the Nation (Acoustic Version)

Last day of the rest of my life

I 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 care

Or thank my pops for all the talks

And all the wisdom he sharedUnaware, I just did what I always do

Everyday, the same routine

Before I skate off to schoolBut who knew that this day wasn't like the rest

Instead of taking a test

I took two to the chestCall me blind, but I didn't see it coming

Everybody was running

But I couldn't hear nothingExcept gun blasts, it happened so fast

I didn't really know this kid

He wasn't part of the classMaybe this kid was reaching out for love

Or maybe for a moment

He forgot who he was

Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged

Whatever it was

I know it's becauseWe are, We are, the youth of the nationLittle Suzy, she was only twelve

She was given the world

With every chance to excelHang with the boys and hear the stories they tell

She might act kind of proud

But no respect for herselfShe finds love in all the wrong places

The same situations

Just different facesChanged up her pace since her daddy left her

Too bad he never told her

She deserved much betterJohnny boy always played the fool

He broke all the rules

So you would think he was coolHe was never really one of the guys

No matter how hard he tried

Often thought of suicideIt's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends

He put his life to an end

They might remember him thenYou cross the line and there's no turning back

Told the world how he felt

With the sound of a gatWe are, We are, the youth of the nationWho's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim

No matter what you say

It don't take away the painThat I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies

Don't nobody know why

It's the blind leading the blindI guess that's the way the story goes

Will it ever make sense

Somebody's got to knowThere's got to be more to life than this

There's got to be more to everything

I thought existsWe are, We are, the youth of the nation
