Текст песни P.O.D. - Youth Of The Nation

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
of 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 for 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 beside him in class

maybe this kid was reaching out for love
or maybe just for a moment
he forgot who he was or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
whatever it was
i knew it's because

chorus:
we are, we are, the youth of the nation

little suzy, she was only twleve
she was given the world
with every chance to excel

hang out 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 that he was cool

he was never really one of the guys
no matter how hard he tried
often thought of suiside

it's kind of hard when you ain't go no frieds
he put his life to an end
they might remember him then

you cross the line and there's no turing back
told the world how he felt
with the sound of a gat

chorus

who's to blame for the lives 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 sence
somebody's got to know

there's got to be more to life than this
there's got to be more to everthing
i thought exists

chorus
