Youth Of The Nation

POD

*Cleric's Work*

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(*4)

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:we are, we are, the youth of the nation(*4)

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:we are, we are, the youth of the nation.(*N)
