21st Century Breakdown - Green Day
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 tower'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 cries
of the class of 13
Born in the era of humility
we are the desperate
in the decline
Raised by the bastards 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
Left me for dead or alive
I am an nation a worker or 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 theeth
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
Is the song that strangles me
Well don't cross the line

Oh dream American dream
I can't even sleep
From the lights early dawn
Oh scream America scream
Believe what you see
from heroes and cons
