Born into Nixon I was raised in hell A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled The last one born, and the first one to run My town was blind from refinery sun My generation is zero I never made it as a working class hero 21st century breakdown I once was lost but never was found I think I am losing whats left of my mind To the 20th century deadline I was made of poison and blood Condemnation is what I understood Video games to the towers fall Homeland security could kill us all My generation is zero I never made it as a working class hero 21st century breakdown I once was lost but never was found I think I am losing whats left of my mind To the 20th century deadline We are the class of, the class of 13 Born in the era of humility We are the desperate in the decline Raised by the bastards of 1969 My name is no one The long lost son Born on the 4th of July Raised 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 swallowed my pride And I choked on my faith Ive given my heart and my soul Ive broken my fingers And lied through my teeth The pillar of damage control Ive been to the edge And Ive thrown the bouquet Of flowers left over from the grave I sat in the waiting room Wasting my time And waiting for Judgment Day I praise liberty The freedom to obey Is the song that strangles me Well dont cross the line Oh dream, America, dream I cant even sleep From the lights early dawn Oh scream, America, scream Believe what you see From heroes and cons Read more: Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown Lyrics | MetroLyrics
