P.O.D. - Youth Of The Nation Lyrics

Complimentary "Youth Of The Nation" Ringtone

Last day of the rest of my life 
I wish I would have known 
Cause I didn't kiss my mama good-bye 
I didnt tell her how that I loved her 
How much I care 
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 this day wasnt like the rest 
Instead of taking the test I took two to the chest 
Call me blind but I didnt see it coming 
Everybody was running but i couldnt hear nothing 
Except Gunblast 
It happened so fast 
I 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 its 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 with 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 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 aint got no friends 
He put his life to an end they might remember him then 
You cross the line and theres 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 

Whos to blame for the life that tradgedies claim 
No matter what you say it dont take away the pain that I feel inside 
Im tired of all the lies 
Don't nobody know why 
Its the blind leading the blind 

Guess thats the way the story goes 
Will it never makes sense 
Somebodys gotta know 

Theres gotta be more to life then this 
Theres 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 (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) 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) the 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 (x3) 
We are
