Green Day - 21st Century Breakdown (Demo) lyrics

Born into Nixon I was raised in hell A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled The last one born but the first one to run My town was blinded by refinery sun My generation is Zero I never made it as a working cla** hero 21st Century Breakdown I once was lost but never was found I think i'm losing whats left of my mind To the 20th century deadline I was made of poison and blood Condemnation is what i understood From Mexico to the Berlin Wall Homeland Security could k** us all My generation is Zero I never made it as a working cla** hero 21st Century Breakdown I once was lost but never was found I think I'm losing whats left of my mind To the 20th century deadline We are the cries of the cla** of '13 Born in the era of Humility We are the desperate in the decline Raised by the ba*tards of 1969 My name is No-One your long lost son Born on the 4th of July Born in the barnyard of Heroes and Cons They left me for dead or alive There is a war that's inside my head That questions the results and lies I'm breaking my back 'till i'm better off dead When enough ain't enough to survive I am an agent, a worker, a pawn My debt to the status quo The scars on my hands are a means to an end It's all that i have to show I'm taking a loan on my sanity For the redemption of my soul Well I am exempt from this tragedy And this 21st Century fall I praise liberty The freedom to obey It's a song that strangles me Well don't cross the line! Oh, dream, American dream I can't even sleep From rainstorms till dawn Oh, bleed, America, bleed Believe what you read From heroes and cons..
