Lyrics of 21st Century Breakdown - Live at Akasaka Blitz, Tokyo, Japan, 5/28/09 by Green Day
verse
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
verse
My generation is zero
I never made it as a working class hero
verse
21st century breakdown
I once was lost but never was found
I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
To the 20th century deadline
verse
I was made of poison and blood
Condemnation is what I understood
Video games of the towers fall
Homeland security could kill us all
verse
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
verse
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
verse
I am a nation
A worker of pride
My debt to the status quo
verse
The scars on my hands
And the means to an end
Is all the that I have to show
verse
I swallowed my pride
And I choked 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
verse
I've been to the edge
And I've thrown the bouquet
Of flowers left over the grave
I sat in the waiting room
Wasting my time
And waiting for Judgement day
verse
I praise liberty
The "freedom to obey"
It's the song that strangles me
Well, don't cross the line
verse
Oh, dream, America, dream
I can't even sleep
From the light's early dawn
verse
Oh, scream, America, scream
Believe what you see
From heroes and cons
Writer(s): Billie Joe Armstrong, Frank Edwin Wright Iii, Mike Ryan Pritchard
