[offset:0]
[00:42.20] Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell
[00:46.80] A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled
[00:49.630]
[00:50.250] The last one born, the first one to run
[00:53.800]
[00:54.500] My town was blind by refinery sun
[00:58.50]
[00:58.630] My generation is zero
[01:01.430]
[01:02.750] I never made it as a working class hero
[01:06.750] 21st century breakdown
[01:09.930]
[01:10.560] I once was lost but never was found
[01:14.60]
[01:14.750] I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
[01:18.570] to the 20th century deadline
[01:24.430]
[01:32.190] I was made of poison and blood
[01:35.370]
[01:36.250] Condemnation is what I understood
[01:39.740]
[01:40.310] Videogames to the tower's fall
[01:43.680]
[01:44.380] Homeland security could kill us all
[01:47.990]
[01:48.560] My generation is zero
[01:51.550]
[01:52.690] I never made it as a working class hero
[01:56.690] 21st century breakdown
[01:59.930]
[02:00.570] I once was lost but never was found
[02:04.690] I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
[02:08.440] to the 20th century deadline
[02:13.680]
[02:37.190] We are the cries of the class of 13
[02:40.140] born in the era of humility
[02:43.140] we are the desperate in the decline
[02:45.500]
[02:46.60] raised by the bastards of 1969
[02:52.110]
[03:00.870] My name is no one
[03:02.120] the long lost son
[03:03.810] Born on the 4th of July
[03:06.170]
[03:06.690] Raised in an era of heroes and cons
[03:09.500] left me for dead or alive
[03:12.50]
[03:12.690] I am a nation
[03:13.690] A worker of pride
[03:15.500] my debt to the status quo
[03:18.440] the scars on my hands are a means to an end
[03:21.500] it's all that I have to show
[03:24.180]
[03:36.290] I swallowed my pride
[03:37.480] And I choked on my faith
[03:39.290] I've given my heart and my soul
[03:41.470]
[03:42.170] I've broken my fingers
[03:43.540] And lied through my teeth
[03:45.170] The pillar of damage control
[03:48.40] I've been to the edge
[03:49.360] And I've thrown the bouquet
[03:51.50] of flowers left over the grave
[03:53.990] I sat in the waiting room
[03:55.620] Wasting my time
[03:56.930] And waiting for judgement day
[03:59.980] I praise liberty
[04:03.10] the freedom to obey
[04:05.700] It's a song that strangles me
[04:08.760] well don't cross the line
[04:10.750]
[04:38.200] Oh dream American dream
[04:44.200] I can't even sleep
[04:48.10] From the lights early dawn
[04:51.690]
[04:53.510] Oh Scream America scream
[04:59.510] Believe what you see
[05:03.280] From heroes and cons
