Youth Of The Nation Lyrics
Artist(Band):P.O.D.
Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would have known cause I didn't kiss my momma good-bye
I didn't tell her that I loved her or how much I cared
Or thank my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared
Unaware I just did what I always do
Everyday the same routine before I skate off to school
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest
Instead of taking the test I took two to the chest
Call me blind but I didn't see it coming
And everybody was runnin
But I couldn't hear nothin, except
Gun blast, it happened so fast
I didn't really know this kid though I sat by him in class
Maybe this kid was reachin 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
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
We are, we are
Youth of the nation
Little Suzzie, she was only twelve
She was given the world with every chance to excel
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kinda proud but no respect for herself
She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations just different faces
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her she deserved much better
Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules so you would think he was cool
He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide
It's kinda hard when you ain't got no friends
He put his life to an end they might remember him then
You cross a line and there is no turning back
He told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat
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
We are, we are
Youth of the nation
Who's to blame for the life that tragedies claim
No matter what you say it won'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 leadin' the blind
Guess that's the way that the story goes
Will it ever make sense somebody's gotta know
There's gotta be more to life than this
There's got to be more to everything
I thought exists
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
We are, we are the 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
We are, we are
Youth of the nation
Youth of the nation
Youth of the nation
Youth of the nation

Review about Youth Of The Nation
Incredibly Deep Song | Reviewer: Neuricius | 4/19/09
This song was inspired by the "school shootings" at Santana High School and Columbine High School, and it describes how much authors got disturbed by them. It says about boys and girls who have marched to death without knowing it, "taking the two in the chest" from "this kid though they sat by in class". It says that biggest monsters in the world are just ordinary ppl you meet every day, normal humans that in one moment just flip, and then they "show what they feel with the sound of the gat". Gat is the old slang for the gun, the worst solution when you're depressed... I guess I'll never comprehend the depth of this song, thinking about how it could have happened in my school but luckily never has...

amazing | Reviewer: andrea | 2/17/09
this song gives me the chills everytime i hear the we are we are somthing about this song makes me feel so real I know kids that are picked on and i feel bad for them but i dont say anything i dont realy think about it but what if i become the victum i might not have been the one to pick on them but i could be the one to pay the price because i just sat and watched it go on without the thought too stand for someone other then myself.thats why after this song i started looking at situations with alot more care all together this song is one of the most meaningful songs i ahve ever heard
sad song really | Reviewer: tyler | 9/27/08
1st verse is about school shootings and the kids who do it.
the suzy verse is about a girl who is a slut because she didn't have a dad. next, johnny commited suicide because he didn't fit in & had no friends.
youth of a nation is about the failure of parents and the breakdown of society with kids paying the price.
Deep | Reviewer: Shadow | 9/1/08
When i was in school i was the out cast, i was spit on, burned with food out of a microwave and on a few occasins stabed with forks and knives. I had the cops called on me and they were told i had guns and bombs. Never once was it true. What made it worse, the principal and the superintendent would sit there at lunch and watch it happen to my friend and i. EVERY time we stood up to walk away or started to say something we got yelled at and in trouble, while they just went on and nothing happend to them. In the end i started to do alot of bad stuff that im not at all proud of. In my mind i would think, mabye if i just shot them and myselfs it would be worth something. I hated everything to do with school and wanted to die. But i found god and i completley changed. When i heard this song i actually broke down and cried while driving to school one day. I was the out cast because i was quiet. If i had not found god when i did, i would not be where i am today. Its amazing the way i feal when i remind myself that when it feals like noone cares, God still loves you!

This song basically speaks for itself. You never know when your life will end. Will it end today? Will it end tomorrow? That's why you should always pray and thank God for everything you have. Because as the others say, you never know what you have till its gone. Thank you, P.O.D.
My School | Reviewer: Kendra | 2/23/08
There was a drive-by shooting at my school today, and it's so weird because I thought of this song a few days before... I'm so thankful that no one was hurt, and am very grateful to have my friends and family. This song to help remind me how mortal and human we really are. Thanks P.O.D.
y i am the youth of a nation | Reviewer: nochild | 1/23/08
"He told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat." I knew a guy like this. he never really fit in at school, you know the kind, kinda dorky and kinda outcast. i think i was the only guy that was his friend. he tried so hard to get into the "in" crowd and one day the guys went to far and accidentally broke his arm. after that he came to school with his arm in a cast and a gun and shot himself last bell. thats y i listen to this song so much
believe <3 | Reviewer: jeannie southern | 12/22/07
this song is so deep. it makes us feel as if we have hope in even the roughest times. it is so relative because we ourselves are encountering the same situations as the kids in this song. if we personally arent then people surrounding us are. we all need to join together and believe in ourselves and know that suicide and drugs or anything else harmful is not the answer. it helps us remember what we stand for and what we want for oursleves in life.
Life Lesson | Reviewer: B | 11/20/07
This song should be a reminder to all that u should always appreciate ur life and those around you b/c as said b4 U really don't know what u have until it's gone. never stop telling your friends and family how much you love them.
