21st Century Breakdown
[00:36.82] Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[00:43.57] Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell
[00:45.81] A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled
[00:50.31] The last one born, and the first one to run
[00:54.56] My town was blind from refinery sun
[00:58.06] My generation is zero
[01:02.56] I never made it as a working class hero
[01:07.07] 21st century breakdown
[01:10.79] I once was lost, but never was found
[01:14.33] I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
[01:18.56] To the 20th century deadline
[01:24.47] Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[01:32.06] I was made of poison and blood
[01:36.32] Condemnation is what I understood
[01:40.81] Video games through the towers' fall
[01:44.30] Homeland security could kill us all
[01:48.55] My generation is zero
[01:52.56] I never made it as a working class hero
[01:56.80] 21st century breakdown
[02:01.31] I once was lost, but never was found
[02:05.32] I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
[02:08.82] To the 20th century deadline
[02:37.45] We are the class of, the class of '13
[02:40.31] Born in the era of humility
[02:43.32] We are the desperate in the decline
[02:46.31] Raised by the bastards of 1969
[03:01.59] My name is no one, the long lost son
[03:04.06] Born on the Fourth of July
[03:07.31] Raised through the era of heroes and cons
[03:09.83] That left me for dead or alive
[03:12.72] I am a nation, a worker of pride (hey!)
[03:15.87] My debt to the status quo
[03:19.33] The scars on my hands and a means to an end
[03:21.82] It's all that I have to show
[03:26.93] Hey!
[03:30.08] Hey!
[03:33.07] Hey!
[03:36.81] I swallowed my pride, and I choked on my faith
[03:39.57] I've given my heart and my soul
[03:42.79] I've broken my fingers and lied through my teeth
[03:45.30] The pillar of damage control
[03:48.56] I've been to the edge, and I've thrown the bouquet (hey!)
[03:51.30] Of flowers left over from the grave
[03:54.43] I've sat in the waiting room wasting my time
[03:57.81] And waiting for judgment day
[04:00.42] I praise liberty
[04:03.43] The freedom to obey
[04:06.17] Is the song that strangles me
[04:08.82] Well, don't cross the line
[04:38.81] Oh, dream, America, dream
[04:44.57] I can't even sleep
[04:48.82] From the light's early dawn
[04:53.81] Oh, scream, America, scream
[04:58.94] Believe what you see
[05:04.06] From heroes and cons
