but I was think 2x5x2) PG.

P.O.D. LYRICS
"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 Duo how much I loved him. But I did. I just didn't know it would be the last day of my life. And I forgot to kiss him.
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
I didn't tell Duo how much I cared. Or thanked Heero for helping me come out of my shell.
Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school
Got up, got dressed, ate breakfast, got on my skates. But I forgot to tell them. And I just did what I normally do.
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest
Two bullets flow my way. But I didn't see it coming. This day seemed different. Acturally, no it didn't. It felt the same.
Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothing
I guess I should of read the signs. People barged into me trying to get away. But I just stood. And I continued like normal. I didn't hear the screams. But I didn't want to die.
Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class
There was a fellow Preventer who was shot. He was shot in the stomach, and he doubled - up, cursing. I didn't really know him very well.
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
I knew this kid had no one to love, and he was the youngest Preventer, but I didn't really get enough time to know him better. I think he just wanted to be loved. He didn't have no parents, because they were killed during the war. This was his way of making up to them.
[chorus:]
We are, We are, the youth of the nation
In the eyes of the law, I am still a youth. I overheard the policeman calling for back - up: 'Yes, we have one youth seriously injured.' And for once I was glad to be young. I don't know why. I was pretty light - headed by then.
Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel
Suzy walked to work with her mommy that day. Her mommy cared, and tried extra hard to give her ever chance to do her best. But I don't think she took that oppertanity.
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself
She was walking down the street, pretending that her mother was not, wearing something kinky. A nice white number. Soon turned red. And she went back to being that little girl.
She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces
Then different faces went over her. But nothing worked. It was a different situation to her. She had never been like this before. And she cried because she knew she had wasted her life.
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better
Yeah, her daddy never treated her good. Always called her a namless bastard. But she was valuable. And her mother treated her like gold.
Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool
Johnny was like Duo. Always pulling pranks. Being stupid. Getting told off. He too wasted his life. Only 18.
He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide
He never had a good life. He was never accepted as who he was. In fact, he was never accepted at all. His mom and dad both dead, left to bring up his own. Tried to hide it, but we could all see it in his eyes. Often thought of cutting his wrists.
It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then
He was often talking about if people died, other people would honor, respect and remember them. We never thought it might happen to him. Or us. That's for old guys, or so we thought.
You cross the line and there's no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat
He tried to hide it. The world didn't know how he felt. No one did. In the end, he was so fucked up, that even he didn't know who he was. The mask had become stuck to him with permente glue, and he kept trying to pull it of. And all the rest of us were so fucked up, we did't notice.
[chorus]
Who's to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don't take away the pain
Some say it's God who's to blame. But maybe it's just the lousy fucked up system. Not putting enough homicidal manics away. But maybe we should blame ourselves. Why not blame me, and the other dead? We can't talk back, and none of us ran.
That I feel inside, I'm tired of all the lies
Don't nobody know why
It's the blind leading the blind
I'm dead, and that's no one's fault. Just the way of life. A way of life. My way of life. But the pain I feel is not for myself, or the other dead, or even those who survived this. It's to Duo. I still forgot to tell him, or hold him close. I wish I did instead of being a proud warrior.
I guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody's got to know
No, this fucked up world will never make sense. And no one understands.
There's got to be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists
[chorus]
