Youth of the 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, how much I cared,

Or thank my pops for all the talks and the wisdom he shared,

Unaware I just did what I always do,

Every day 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 in the chest,

Call me blind but I didn't see ya coming,

Everybody was runnin' but I couldn't hear nothin' 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,

Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged,

Whatever it was,

I know it's because,

We are, we are,

the youth of the nation

We are, we are,

the youth of the nation

We are, we are,

the youth of the nation

We are, we are,

the youth of the nation

Little Suzy she was only 12,

She was livin' the world with every chance to excel

Hang out with the boys and hear the stories they tell,

She might act kind of proud with no respect for herself,

She finds love in all the wrong places,

the same situation, just different with faces,

Changed up her face 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,

with the thought of suicide,

It's kind a 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,

He 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,

the youth of the nation

We are, we are,

the youth of the nation

We are, we are,

the youth of the nation

Who's to blame for the life that tragedie's claimed,

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,

Cause that's the way the story goes,

Well it never makes no sense somebody's gotta know,

There's gotta be more to life

than this,

There's gotta more to everything I thought exists

We are, we are,

the youth of the nation

We are, we are,

the 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

the 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

the 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

the youth of the nation

the youth of the nation

We are, ... ,

the youth of the nation

We are, ... ,

the youth of the nation

We are, ... ,

the youth of the nation

We are, ...
