[00:42.20]Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell

[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

[01:02.750]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

[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
