[00:12.02]
[00:42.02]Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell
[00:45.50]
[00:46.08]A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled
[00:49.63]
[00:50.25]The last one born, the first one to run
[00:53.80]
[00:54.50]My town was blind by refinery sun
[00:58.05]
[00:58.62]My generation is zero
[01:01.42]
[01:02.75]I never made it as a working class hero
[01:06.75]21st century breakdown
[01:09.92]
[01:10.56]I once was lost but never was found
[01:14.05]
[01:14.75]I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
[01:18.56]To the 20th century deadline
[01:24.42]
[01:32.19]I was made of poison and blood
[01:35.36]
[01:36.25]Condemnation is what I understood
[01:39.74]
[01:40.31]Videogames to the tower's fall
[01:43.67]
[01:44.37]Homeland security could kill us all
[01:47.99]
[01:48.56]My generation is zero
[01:51.55]
[01:52.68]I never made it as a working class hero
[01:56.68]21st century breakdown
[01:59.92]
[02:00.56]I once was lost but never was found
[02:04.69]I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
[02:08.44]To the 20th century deadline
[02:13.67]
[02:37.19]We are the cries of the class of 13
[02:40.14]Born in the era of humility
[02:43.14]We are the desperate in the decline
[02:45.50]
[02:46.06]Raised by the bastards of 1969
[02:52.11]
[03:00.87]My name is no one
[03:02.12]The long lost son
[03:03.81]Born on the 4th of July
[03:06.17]
[03:06.68]Raised in an era of heroes and cons
[03:09.49]Left me for dead or alive
[03:12.04]
[03:12.68]I am a nation
[03:13.68]A worker of pride
[03:15.50]My debt to the status quo
[03:18.43]The scars on my hands are a means to an end
[03:21.50]It's all that I have to show
[03:24.17]
[03:36.29]I swallowed my pride
[03:37.48]And I choked on my faith
[03:39.29]I've given my heart and my soul
[03:41.46]
[03:42.16]I've broken my fingers
[03:43.54]And lied through my teeth
[03:45.16]The pillar of damage control
[03:48.04]I've been to the edge
[03:49.35]And I've thrown the bouquet
[03:51.05]Of flowers left over the grave
[03:53.99]I sat in the waiting room
[03:55.61]Wasting my time
[03:56.92]And waiting for judgement day
[03:59.98]I praise liberty
[04:03.00]The freedom to obey
[04:05.69]It's a song that strangles me
[04:08.75]Well don't cross the line
[04:10.74]
[04:38.19]Oh dream American dream
[04:44.19]I can't even sleep
[04:48.01]From the lights early dawn
[04:51.68]
[04:53.51]Oh Scream America scream
[04:59.51]Believe what you see
[05:03.28]From heroes and cons
