Born into Nixon Iwas raised in hell A welfare child Where the teamsters dwelled The last one born The one to run
My town was blind from refinery sun
My generation is zero I never made as a working class hero
(Refrain) 21st Century Breakdown I once was but never was found I think I´m losing What´s left to my mind To the 20th century deadline
I was made of poison and blood Condemnation is what I understood
Video games to the tower´s fall Homeland security Could kill us all
My generation is zero I never made as a working class hero
(Refrain) 21st Century Breakdown I once was but never was found I think I´m losing What´s left to my mind To the 20th century deadline
We are the class of´13 Born in the era of humility We are the desperate in the decline Raised by the bastards to 1969
My name is no one The long lost son
Born on the 4th of July Riased in the era of Heroes and Cons That left me for dead or alive
I am a nation A worker of pride My debt to the Status Quo
The scars on my hands And the means to an end Is all that I have to show
I shallowed my pride And I chocked on my faith I´ve given my heart and my soul I´ve broken my fingers And lied through my teeth The pillar of damage control
I´ve been to the edge And I´ve throw the bouquet Of flowers left over the grave I sat in the waiting room Wasting my time And waiting for judgement day
I praise liberty The "Freedom to obey" Is a song that´s strangles me Don´t cross the line
Dream, America dream, I can"t even sleep From the light´s early dawn
