21st Century Breakdown - Live at Akasaka Blitz, Tokyo, Japan, 5/28/09

Born into Nixon I was raised in hell
 A welfare child
 Where the teamsters dwelled
 The last one born
 And The first one to run
 My town was blind from refinery sun
 My generation is zero
 I never made it as a working class hero
 21st century breakdown
 I once was lost but never was found
 I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
 To the 20th century deadline
 ♪
 I was made of poison and blood
 Condemnation is what I understood
 Video games of the towers fall
 Homeland security could kill us all
 ♪
 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 bastards of 1969
 ♪
 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 the means to an end
 Is all the that I have to show
 ♪
 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 teeth
 The pillar of damage control
 I've been to the edge
 And I've thrown the bouquet
 Of flowers left over the grave
 I sat in the waiting room
 Wasting my time
 And waiting for Judgement day
 I praise liberty
 The "freedom to obey"
 It's the song that strangles me
 Well, don't cross the line
 ♪
 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
