[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
