green day - 21st century breakdown [that's not cricket] lyrics

[part i]

[verse 1]
born into nixon, i was raised in h+ll
a welfare child where the teamsters dwelled
the last one born and the first one to run
my town was blind from refinery sun

[pre+chorus]
my generation is zero
i never made it as a working–
let’s go!

[chorus]
21st century breakdown
i once was lost, but never was found
i think i’m losin’ what’s left of my mind
to the 20th century deadline ([…])

[verse 2]
i was made of poison and blood
condemnation is what i understood
video games to the tower’s fall
homeland security could k!ll us all

[pre+chorus]
my generation is zero
i never made it as a working+class
let’s go!
[chorus]
21st century breakdown
i once was lost, but never was found
i think i’m losin’ what’s left of my mind
to the 20th century deadline
let’s go!

[part ii]

billie: do you f+cking hear me?

billie: i said do you hear me?
audience: yeah!

[intro]
we are the class of, the class of ’13
born in the era of humility
we are the desperate in the decline
raised by the b+st+rds of 1969
[verse 3]
my name is no one, the long+lost son
born on the 4th of july
raised in the era of heroes and cons
that left me for dead or alive
i am a nation, a worker of pride
my debt to the status quo
the scars on my hands and a means to an end
it’s all that i have to just let go

[interlude]
hey
hey
hey

[verse 4]
i swallowed my pride and i choked on my faith
i’ve given my heart and my soul
i’ve broken my fingers and lied through my t++th
the pillar of damage control
i’ve been to the edge and i’ve thrown the bouquet (hey)
of flowers left over the grave
i sat in the waiting room wasting my time
and waiting for judgment day

[bridge]
i praise liberty
the freedom to obey
is the song that strangles me
well, don’t cross the line
alright! put your hands up in the air!
[part iii]

[outro]
oh, dream, america, dream
i can’t even sleep from the light’s early dawn
oh, scream, america, scream
believe what you see from heroes and cons
