Youth Of The Nation Lyrics

Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would have known 'cause I'd have kissed my Momma goodbye
I didn't tell her that I loved her or how much I cared or thank my
Pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared
Unaware I just 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' the test I took two to the chest

Call me blind but I didn't see it comin' and
Everybody was runnin' but I couldn't
Hear nothin except gun blast it happened so fast
I didn't really know this kid though I sat by him in class
May be this kid was reachin' out for love or
May be for a moment he forgot who he was or
May be this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was I know it's because

We are we are
(We are)
The youth of the nation
We are we are
(We are)
Youth of the nation

We are we are
(We are)
The youth of the nation
We are we are
(We are)
Youth of the nation

Little Suzzie she was only twelve
She was given the world with every chance to excel
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind a proud but no respect for herself
She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations but 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 With the thought of suicide
It's kind a hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end they might remember him then
You cross a line and there is no turnin' back
He told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat

We are we are
(We are)
The youth of the nation
We are we are
(We are)
Youth of the nation

We are we are
(We are)
The youth of the nation
We are we are
(We are)
Youth of the nation

Who's to blame for the life that tragedies claim?
No matter what you say it won'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 leadin' the blind?
Guess that's the way that the story goes
Will it ever make sense somebody's gotta know
There's gotta be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everythin' I thought exists

We are we are
The youth of the nation
We are we are
Youth of the nation
We are we are
(We are we are)
The youth of the nation
We are we are
(We are we are)
Youth of the nation

We are we are
(We are we are)
Youth of the nation
(Youth of the nation)
We are we are
(We are we are)
Youth of the nation
(Youth of the nation)

We are we are
(We are we are)
Youth of the nation
(Youth of the nation)
We are we are
(We are we are)
Youth of the nation
(Youth of the nation)

We are
Youth of the nation
We are
Youth of the nation
We are
Youth of the nation
We are
