P.O.D. - Youth Of The Nation
[00:33.30] Last day of the rest of my life
[00:34.89] I wish I would've known
[00:35.87] 'Cause I didn't kiss my mama goodbye
[00:37.47] I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I cared
[00:39.88] Or thank my pops for all the talks
[00:41.21] And all the wisdom he shared
[00:42.24] Unaware, I just did what I always do
[00:44.90] Every day, the same routine
[00:45.96] Before I skate off to school
[00:47.20] But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
[00:49.86] Instead of taking a test
[00:50.92] I took two to the chest
[00:52.69] Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
[00:54.80] Everybody was running
[00:55.88] But I couldn't hear nothing
[00:57.20] Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
[00:59.51] I don't really know this kid
[01:00.83] Though I sit by him in class
[01:02.69] Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
[01:04.56] Or maybe for a moment
[01:05.77] He forgot who he was
[01:07.12] Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
[01:09.50] Whatever it was
[01:10.83] I know it's because
[01:12.43] We are, we are the youth of the nation
[01:17.20] We are, we are youth of the nation
[01:22.26] We are, we are the youth of the nation
[01:27.22] We are, we are youth of the nation
[01:32.01] Little Suzy, she was only twelve
[01:33.86] She was given the world
[01:35.19] With every chance to excel
[01:37.05] Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
[01:38.65] She might act kind of proud
[01:39.96] But no respect for herself
[01:41.83] She finds love in all the wrong places
[01:43.95] The same situations
[01:45.01] Just different faces
[01:46.79] Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
[01:48.65] Too bad he never told her
[01:49.98] She deserved much better
[01:51.74] Johnny boy always played the fool
[01:53.60] He broke all the rules
[01:54.67] So you would think he was cool
[01:56.70] He was never really one of the guys
[01:58.30] No matter how hard he tried
[01:59.61] Often thought of suicide
[02:01.38] It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
[02:03.50] He put his life to an end
[02:04.30] They might remember him then
[02:06.34] You cross the line and there's no turning back
[02:08.19] Told the world how he felt
[02:09.52] With the sound of a gat
[02:11.30] We are, we are the youth of the nation
[02:16.08] We are, we are youth of the nation
[02:21.13] We are, we are the youth of the nation
[02:25.91] We are, we are youth of the nation
[02:50.61] Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
[02:52.39] No matter what you say
[02:53.45] It don't take away the pain
[02:54.42] That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
[02:57.08] Don't nobody know why
[02:58.14] It's the blind leading the blind
[03:00.17] I guess that's the way the story goes
[03:01.67] Will it ever make sense
[03:03.27] Somebody's got to know
[03:04.78] There's got to be more to life than this
[03:06.63] There's got to be more to everything
[03:07.96] I thought exists
[03:09.83] We are, we are the youth of the nation
[03:14.62] We are, we are youth of the nation
[03:19.58] We are, we are the youth of the nation
[03:24.37] We are, we are youth of the nation
[03:29.41] We are, we are the youth of the nation
[03:34.46] We are, we are youth of the nation
[03:39.14] We are, we are the youth of the nation
[03:44.08] We are, we are youth of the nation
[03:48.61] The youth of the nation
[03:50.64] We are youth of the nation
[03:55.42] We are youth of the nation
[04:00.19] We are youth of the nation
[04:05.94] We are
