Last day of the rest of my life |
|
I wish I would have known cause I'd have kissed my momma good-bye |
|
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 the test I took two to the chest |
|
Call me blind but I didn't see it coming |
|
And everybody was runnin |
|
But I couldn't hear nothin, except |
|
Gun blast, it happened so fast |
|
I didn't really know this kid though I sat by him in class |
|
Maybe this kid was reachin 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] the youth of the nation |
|
We are, we are, [we are] the youth of the nation |
|
We are, we are, [we are] the youth of the nation |
|
Little Suzie, 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 kinda 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 he 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 kinda hard when you ain't got no friends |
|
He put his life to an end they might remember him then |
|
You cross a line and there is no turning back |
|
He 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] the youth of the nation |
|
We are, we are, [we are] the youth of the nation |
|
We are, we are, [we are] the youth of the nation |
|
Who's to blame for the life 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 leadin' the blind |
|
Guess that's the way that the story goes |
|
Will it ever make sense somebody's gotta know |
|
There's gotta be more to life than this |
|
There's got to be 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 [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, we are [we are, we are] the youth of the nation [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... |
