GREEN DAY lyrics : "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 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 mind
to the 20th century deadline


I was made of poison and blood
Condemnation is what I understood

Videogames to the towrer'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 mind

to the 20th century deadline

We are the class of '13

Born in the era of humility
we are the desperate in the decline
Raised by the !@$(s of 1969


My name is 'No one'
the long lost son

Born on the 4th of July
Raised in an era of heroes and cons
That left me for dead or alive


I am a nation, a worker of pride
My debt to the status quo

The scars on my hands and a means to an end
Is all that I have to show


I 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 control


I've been to the edge
And I've thrown the bouquet

Of flowers left over the grave
I sat in the waiting room
Wasting my time

And waiting for judgement day



I praise liberty, the "freedom to obey"
It's a song that strangles me
Well don't cross the line


Oh, dream, America dream
I can't even sleep

from the lights early dawn
Oh, scream, America scream
Believe what you see

from heroes and cons?
