Youth Of The Nation Lyrics

Youth Of The Nation lyrics

Last day of the rest of my life, 
I wish I would of known cause I'd of kissed
my mooma goodbye.
I didn't tell her that I loved her, how much I cared,
I
thanked my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared.
Unaware I
just did what I always do, 
Everyday the same routine before I skate off to
school.
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest,
Instead of
taking the test I took two to the chest.
Call me blind but I didn't see it
coming,
Everybody was running but I couldn't hear nothing.
Except gun
blasts it happened so fast,
I didn't really know this kid though I sit by
him in class.
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love,
Or maybe for a
moment he forgot who he was.
Maybe this kid just wanted to be
hugged,
What ever it was I know it's because

We are, we are, the
youth of the nation
We are, we are, youth of the nation
We are, we are,
the youth of the nation
We are, we are, youth of the nation

Little
Suzy she was only twelve,
She was given the world with every chance to
excel.
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell,
She might act
kind of proud but no respect for herself.
She finds love in all the wrong
places, 
The same situations just different faces.
Changed up her pace
since her daddy left her,
Too bad he never told her she diserved much
better.
Jonny boy always played the fool,
He broke all the rules so you
would think he was cool.
He was never really one of the guys,
No matter
how hard he tried, though he thought of suicide.
Its kind of hard when you
aint got no freinds 
He put his life to an end they might remember him
then
You cross the line and there's no turning back,
told the world how
he felt with the sound of a gat.

We are, we are, the youth of the
nation
We are, we are, youth of the nation
We are, we are, the youth of
the nation
We are, we are, youth of the nation

Who's to blame for the
lives the tragedies claim,
No matter what you say it won't take away the
pain.
That I feel inside I'm tired of all the lies,
Don't nobody know why
but it's the blind leading the blind.
I guess thats the way that the story
goes,
Will it ever make sense?  Somebody's got to know.
There's got to be
more to life than this,
There's got to be more to everything I thought
exists.

We are, we are, the youth of the nation
We are, we are, youth
of the nation
We are, we are, the youth of the nation
We are, we are,
youth of the nation

We are, we are, the youth of the nation
We are,
we are, youth of the nation
We are, we are, the youth of the nation
We
are, we are, youth of the nation
