Youth of the Nation |
| Last day of the rest of my life |
| I wish, I would've known 'cause I didn't kiss my mama, goodbye! |
| I didn't tell her that I loved her, how much I cared |
| Or thank my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared |
| Unaware, I just did what I always do |
| Every day the same routine before I skate off to school |
| But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest? |
| Instead of takin' a test, I took two to the chest |
| Call me blind, but I didn't see it comin' |
| Everybody was runnin', but I couldn't hear nothin' |
| Except gun blasts, it happened so fast |
| I don't really know this kid, though I sit by him in class |
| Maybe this kid was reachin' 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 because |
| We are, we are (we are) the youth of the nation |
| We are, we are (we are) youth of the nation |
| We are, we are (we are) the youth of the nation |
| We are, we are (we are) youth of the nation |
| Little Suzy, she was only twelve |
| She was given the world with every chance to excel |
| Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell |
| She might act kind of proud, but no respect for herself |
| She finds love in all the wrong places |
| The same situations just different faces |
| Changed up her pace since her daddy left her |
| Too bad he never told her, she deserved much better |
| Johnny boy always played the fool |
| He broke all the rules, so you would think he was cool |
| He was never really one of the guys |
| No matter how hard he tried, often thought of suicide |
| It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends |
| He put his life to an end, they might remember him then |
| You cross the line and there's no turning back |
| Told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat |
| We are, we are (we are) the youth of the nation |
| We are, we are (we are) youth of the nation |
| We are, we are (we are) the youth of the nation |
| We are, we are (we are) youth of the nation |
| Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim? |
| No matter what you say, it don't take away the pain |
| That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies |
| Don't nobody know why, it's the blind leadin' the blind |
| I guess that's the way the story goes |
| Will it ever make sense? |
| Somebody's got to know |
| There's gotta be more to life than this |
| There's gotta be more to everything I thought exists |
| We are, we are, the youth of the nation |
| We are, we are, youth of the nation |
| We are, we are (we are, we are) the youth of the nation |
| We are, we are (we are, we are) youth of the nation |
| We are, we are (we are, we are) the youth of the nation (youth of the nation) |
| We are, we are (we are, we are) youth of the nation (youth of the nation) |
| We are, we are (we are, we are) the youth of the nation (the youth of the nation) |
| We are, we are (we are, we are) youth of the nation (youth of the nation) |
| (We are) youth of the nation |
| (We are) youth of the nation |
| (We are) youth of the nation |
| (We are) |
