I know too many people that are like this, I'm one of them...
Last day of the rest of my life
Wished I had known cause I would've kissed my momma goodbye
Didn't tell her that I loved her, how much I cared or
Thank my pops for all the talks and the wisdom he shared
Unaware I 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 takin a test, I'd take two to the chest
Call me blind but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running but I couldn't hear nothing except
Gun blasts, it happened so fast,
didn't really know this kid though I sit by him in class
Maybe this kid was reaching 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, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
Little Susie she was only twelve
She was given the world with every chance to excell
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud but no respect for herself
She finds love in all the wrong places
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 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
Its kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then
You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
Who's to blame for the lives the 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 leading the blind
Guess that's the way that the story goes
Will it ever make sense?
Somebody's got to know
There's got to 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, youth of the nation
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
We are we are, the youth of the nation
We are we are, youth of the nation
Youth of the nation
Youth of the nation
Youth of the nation
Youth of the nation...
