Youth Of A Nation Lyrics

Youth Of A Nation lyrics

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would’ve known
Cause I
didn't kiss my mama goodbye

I didn’t tell her that I loved her,
how much I cared
Or thank 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 a 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 don’t really know this kid
Even 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
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be
hugged
Whatever it was
I know it’s because

We are, We are,
(We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) youth of the
nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, 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 deserved much better

Johnny
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
Often thought of suicide

It’s kind of hard when you
ain’t got no friends
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, (We
are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are) youth of the
nation
We are, We are, (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, We are,
(We are) youth of the nation

Na, na, na , na, na, na, na, na, na,
na
na, na, na

Who’s to blame for the lives that tragedies
claim
No matter what you say
It don’t take away the
pain

That I feel inside, I’m tired of all the
lies
Don’t nobody know why
It’s the blind leading the
blind

I guess that’s the way 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

Chorus:
We are, We are, the youth of the nation
We are, We
are, youth of the nation
We are, We are, (We are, we are) the youth of the
nation
We are, We are, (We are, we are) youth of the nation
We are, We
are, (We are, we are) the youth of the nation
(the youth of the
nation)
We are, We are, (We are, we are) youth of the nation
(youth of
the nation)
We are, We are, (We are, we are) the youth of the nation
(the
youth of the nation)
We are, We are, (We are, we are) youth of the
nation
(youth of the nation)

We are...
Youth of the nation
We
are...
Youth of the nation
We are...
Youth of the nation
We are...
