YOUTH
OF THE NATION
(P.O.D.)
Last day of the rest of
my life
I wish I would've known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama
goodbye
I didn't tell her that I
loved her and 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 that this day
wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a 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 gun blasts, it happened
so fast
I don't really know this
kid
Even 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 it's because
chorus:
We are, We are, the youth
of the nation
Little Suzy, 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 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
Often 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 the line and there's
no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat
chorus
Who's to blame for the lives
that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don'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 leading the
blind
I guess that's the way the
story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know
There's got to be more to
life than this
There's got to be more to
everything
I thought exists

IT'S
MY LIFE

Holly - T. Friese-Greene
Funny how I find myself
In love with you
If I could buy my reasoning
I would pay to lose
One half won´t do
I´ve asked myself how
much do you
Commit yourself
It´s my life
Don´t you forget
It´s my life
It never ends
Funny how I blind myself
I never knew
If I was sometimes played
upon
Afraid to lose
I would tell myself what
good you do
Convince myself
It´s my life
Don´t you forget
It´s my life
It never ends
I would ask myself how much
do you
Commit yourself
It´s my life
Don´t you forget
Caught in the crowd
It never ends. |
