Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown

21st Century Breakdown – Green Day Song Lyrics

Lyrics of 21st Century Breakdown – Green Day

Born into Nixon I was raised in hell.

A welfare child where the Teamsters dwelled.

The last one born and the 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 was once lost but never was found

I think I am losing what’s left of my mind

To the 20th century deadline.

I was made of posion and blood

Condemnation is what I understood

Videogames of the tower’s fall

Homeland security could kill us all

My generation is zero

I never made it as a working class hero

21st century breakdown

I was once lost but never was found

I think I am losing what’s left of my mind

To the 20th century deadline.

We are the cries 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 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 chocked on my faith

I’ve given my heart and my soul

Ive broken my fingers

And lied though my teeth

The pillar of damage control

I’ve been to the edge

And I’ve thrown the bouqet

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 the song that strangles me

well Don’t cross the line

oh Dream, America Dream

I can’t even sleep

From the light’s early dawn

oh Scream, America scream

Belive what you see

From heroes and cons?
