Youth Of The Nation歌詞

Youth Of The Nation (Album Version) -
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
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest
Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing
Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class
Maybe 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 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 a line and
There is no turnin' back
He 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 life that tragedies claim?
No matter what you
Say it won'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?
Guess that's the way that the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's gotta know
There's gotta be more to life than this
There's got to be more to
Everythin' 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)
Youth of the nation
We are we are
(We are we are)
Youth of the nation
We are we are
(We are we are)
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
