Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

hey, so what the heck? I love the song itself, but disagree with the lyrics almost entirely. Sure you don't always have to have a full on fight when you disagree, but this country wasn't founded by people sitting on their asses and giving in, and no one becomes successful by doing that, either. Unfortunately, too many people think that nowadays. This generation is liberal, I'm sorry, it is. Have you heard American Idiot? I'd care if ur joking or whatever, but you Never f this country when you live here. Heard of American pride, is that still around? Y'all prob think I'm like 80 or something...I'm 13 and love this country, but that doesn't mean this song isn't good. But it's a song, and it's good. I luv his voice!!!! Sorry I kind of turned this into a political comment, and sorry if I offended anyone by saying THAT I LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND AM THANKFUL TO GOD FOR LIVING HERE.
