POD - Youth Of The Nation

Last day of the rest of my life, I wish you would've known 'cause I didn't kiss my mama

goodbye.

I didn't tell her that I loved her, how much I cared, I thank my pops for all the talks

and all the wisdom he shared.

Where I just did what I always do every day the same routine before I skate off to school

But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest instead of taking the test. I took two to the chest

Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming. Everybody was running, but I couldn't hear nothing except

Come last it happened so fast. I didn't really know this kid though. I survived the class

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love or maybe for a moment. He forgot who he was

Well, 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 the youth of the nation.

We are, we are the youth of the nation.

We are, we are the youth of the nation.

Little Susie, she was only 12.

She was giving the world with every chance to excel.

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

The 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, nothing thought of suicide

It's kind of 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's no turning back

Told the world how he felt with the sound of a cat

We are, we are, the youth of the nation.

We are, we are, the youth of the nation.

We are, we are, the youth of the nation.

We are, we are, the youth of the nation.

Who's to blame for the life the tragedies claim?

No matter what you say, it don't take away the pain that I feel inside.

of all the life or 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 gotta know there's gotta be more to life than

this there's gotta 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, youth of the nation.

We are, we are, youth of the nation.

We are, we are, youth of the nation.

We are, we are, youth of the nation.

We are, we are, youth of the nation.

The youth of the nation, we know we are, the youth of the nation, the youth of the nation,

we are, the youth of the nation, we are, the youth of the nation, we are, the youth of

the nation, we are.
