P.O.D. - Youth of the Nation
[00:20.08] Last day of the rest of my life
[00:21.95] I wish I would've known
[00:23.27] 'Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye
[00:24.60] I didn't tell her that I loved her, how much I care
[00:26.99] Or thank my pops for all the talks
[00:28.31] And all the wisdom he shared
[00:29.65] Unaware, I just did what I always do
[00:32.04] Everyday, the same routine
[00:33.36] Before I skate off to school
[00:34.43] But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
[00:36.82] Instead of taking a test
[00:38.15] I took two to the chest
[00:39.47] Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
[00:41.86] Everybody was running
[00:43.19] But I couldn't hear nothing
[00:44.25] Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
[00:46.38] I didn't really know this kid
[00:48.25] Though I sit by him in class
[00:49.58] Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
[00:51.71] Or maybe for a moment
[00:53.03] He forgot who he was
[00:54.10] Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
[00:56.50] Whatever it was
[00:57.81] I know it's because
[00:59.15] We are, we are, the youth of the nation
[01:04.46] We are, we are, youth of the nation
[01:09.51] We are, we are, the youth of the nation
[01:14.29] We are, we are, youth of the nation
[01:19.34] Little Suzy, she was only twelve
[01:21.20] She was given the world
[01:22.53] With every chance to excel
[01:23.58] Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
[01:25.97] She might act kind of proud
[01:27.57] But no respect for herself
[01:28.63] She finds love in all the wrong places
[01:30.76] The same situations
[01:32.34] Just different faces
[01:33.42] Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
[01:36.07] Too bad he never told her
[01:37.39] She deserved much better
[01:38.45] Johnny boy always played the fool
[01:40.84] He broke all the rules
[01:41.91] So you would think he was cool
[01:43.24] He was never really one of the guys
[01:45.63] No matter how hard he tried
[01:46.97] Often thought of suicide
[01:48.30] It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
[01:50.68] He put his life to an end
[01:51.73] They might remember him then
[01:53.07] You cross the line and there's no turning back
[01:55.46] Told the world how he felt
[01:57.05] With the sound of a gat
[01:58.11] We are, we are, the youth of the nation
[02:02.36] We are, we are, youth of the nation
[02:08.47] We are, we are, the youth of the nation
[02:13.26] We are, we are, youth of the nation
[02:37.69] Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim?
[02:39.83] No matter what you say
[02:40.88] It don't take away the pain
[02:42.22] That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
[02:43.54] Don't nobody know why
[02:45.67] It's the blind leading the blind
[02:47.26] I guess that's the way that the story goes
[02:49.38] Will it ever make sense
[02:50.97] Somebody's got to know
[02:52.04] There's got to be more to life than this
[02:54.43] There's got to be more to everything
[02:56.03] I thought exists
[02:56.98] We are, we are, the youth of the nation
[03:02.29] We are, we are, youth of the nation
[03:07.88] We are, we are (we are, we are), the youth of the nation
[03:12.40] We are, we are (we are, we are), youth of the nation
[03:17.17] We are, we are (we are, we are)
[03:20.36] The youth of the nation (the youth of a nation)
[03:23.28] We are, we are (we are, we are)
[03:25.13] Youth of the nation (youth of a nation)
[03:27.53] We are, we are (we are, we are)
[03:29.93] The youth of the nation (the youth of a nation)
[03:31.78] We are, we are (we are, we are)
[03:34.43] Youth of the nation (youth of the nation)
[03:36.83] youth of the nation
[03:38.42] (We are) youth of the nation
[03:41.87] (We are) youth of the nation
[03:46.66] (We are)
