GREEN DAY - 21st Century Breakdown lyrics

rate me

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

Combination is what I understood

From Mexico to the Berlin Wall

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 year of humility

we are the desperate in the decline

Raised by the bastards of 1969

My name is 'No one' your long lost son

Born on the 4th of July

Raised in the barnyards of heroes and cons

Left me for dead or alive

Green Day Lyrics on http://www.lyrics-celebrities.anekatips.com/

There is a war that's inside my head

That questions the results and lies

I'm breaking my back till I'm better off dead

We are not payed enough to survive

I am an engine, a worker, a pawn

My debt to the status quo

The scars on my hands and a means to an end

It's all that I have to show

I'm taking a loan on my sanity

For the redemption of my soul

well I am exempt from this tragedy

And the 21st century fall

I praise liberty, the freedom to obey

It's a song that strangles me

Well don't cross the line

Oh, dream, American dream

I can't even sleep

from rainstorms till dawn

Oh, bleed, America bleed

Believe what you read

from heroes and cons
