P.o.d. – Youth Of The Nation – Radio Edit

scritto da admin

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would have known
Cause I didn’t kiss my mama good-bye
I didn’t tell her how that I loved her
how much I care
Didn’t thank my pop 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 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 blast
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 its 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 Susie 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 with no respect for herself
She was loved in all the wrong places

Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told she deserved much better

Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules so you would think he was cool
But he was never really one of the guys no matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide
Its 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 theres 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

Whos to blame for the life that tragedies claim
No matter what you say it don’t take away the pain that I feel inside
Im tired of all the lies
Don’t nobody know why
just the blind leading the blind

(Well) I guess thats the way the story goes
Well it never makes sense
Somebody’s gotta know

Theres gotta be more to life then this
Theres gotta 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 (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
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
We are we are, (we are we are)youth of the nation (youth of the nation)
We are, youth of the nation (x3)
