P.o.d. - Youth Of The Nation lyrics

So you would think he was cool He broke all the rules Johnny boy always played the fool She deserved much better. Too bad he never told her Changed up her pace since her daddy left her Just with different faces The same situations She finds love in all the wrong places But no respect for herself She might act kind of proud Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell With every chance to excel She was given the world Little suzy, she was only twelve We are, we are.... youth of the nation We are, we are.... the youth of the nation We are, we are.... youth of the nation We are, we are.... the youth of the nation Chorus: I know it's because Whatever it was, Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged He forgot who he was. Or maybe for a moment, Maybe this kid was reaching out for love Though I sit by him in cla** I didn't really know this kid Except gun blasts, it happened so fast But I couldn't hear nothing Everybody was running Call me blind, but I didn't see it coming I took two to the chest Instead of taking the test, Who knew that this day wasn't like the rest Before I skate off to school Everyday, the same routine Unaware, I just did what i always do And all the wisdom he shared Or thank my pops for all the talks, I didn't tell her that i loved her and how much i care Cause i would've kissed my mama goodbye I wish i would've known, The last day of the rest of my life He was never really one of the guys No matter how hard he tried Often thought of suicide It's kind of hard when you ain't got no friends He put his life to an end They might remember him then You cross the line and there's no turning back Told the world how he felt With the sound of a gat Chorus Who's to blame for the lives that 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 sense Somebody's got to know There's got to be more to life than this There's got to be more to everything I thought exists Chorus
