SING US A SONG OF THE CENTURY
THAT'S LOUDER THAN BOMBS AND ETERNITY
THE ERA OF STATIC AND CONTRABAND
THAT'S LEAD US TO PROMISRD LAND
TELL US STORY THAT'S BY CANDLELIGHT
WAGING A WAR AND LOSING THE FIGHT
THEY'RE PLAYING THE SONG OF THE CENTURY
OF PANIC AND PROMISE AND PROSPERITY
TELL ME A STORY INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT
SING US A SONG FOR ME





21st CENTURY BREAKDOWN

BORN INTO NIXON I WAS RAISED IN HELL
A WELFARE CHILD
WHERE THE TEAMSTER DWELLED
THE LAST ONE BORN
THE FIRST ONE TO RUN

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 IAM LOSING
WHAT'S LEFT ON MY MIND
TO THE 20th CENTURY DEADLINE

I WAS MADE OF POISON AND BLOOD
CONDEMNATION IS WHAT I UNDERSTOOD

VIDEO GAMES OF THE TOWER'S FALL
HOMELAND SECURITY
COULD KILL US ALL

WE ARE THE CLASS OF 13
BORN IN THE ERA OF HUMILITY
WE ARE THE DESPERATE IN DECLINE
RAISED BY THE BASTARD OF 1969

MY NAME IS NO ONE
THE LONG LOST SON
BORN ON THE 4th OF JULY
RAISED IN ERA OF HEROES AND CONS
THAT LEFT ME FOR DEAD OR ALIVE

I AM A NATION
A WORKER OF PRIDE
MY DEBT TO STATUS QUO

THE SCARS ON MY HANDS
AND THE MEANS TO AN END
IS ALL THAT I HAVE TO SHOW

I SWALLOWED MY PRIDE
AND I CHOKED ON MY FAITH
I'VE GIVE MY HEART AND MY SOUL
I'VE BROKEN MY FINGERS
AND LIED THROUGH MY TEETH
THE PILAR OF DAMAGE CONTROL

IVE 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 THE JUDGMENT DAY

I PRAISE LIBERTY
FREEDOM TO OBEY
IS THE SONG THAT STRANGLES ME
DON'T CROSS THE LINE

DREAM, AMERICA DREAM
I CAN'T EVEN SLEEP
FROM THE LIGHT'S EARLY DAWN

SCREAM, AMERICA SCREAM
BELIVE WHAT YOU SEE
FROM HEROES AND CONS



KNOW YOUR ENEMY

DO YOU KNOW THE ENEMY
DO YOU KNOW YOUR ENEMY
WELL GOTTA KNOW YOUR ENEMY

VIOLENCE IS AN ENERGY
AGAINST THE ENEMY
VIOLENCE IS AN ENERGY

BRINGING THE FURY THE CHOIR INFANTRY

REVOLT AGAINST THE HONOR TO OBEY

OVERTHROW THE EFFIGY
THE VAST MAJORITY
BRINGING DOWN THE FOREMAN OF CONTROL

SILENCE IS THE ENEMY
AGAINST YOUR URGENCY
SO RALLY UP THE DEMON OF YOUR SOUL

THE INSURGENCY WILL RISE
WHEN THE BLOOD BEEN SACRIFICED
DON'T BE BLINDED BY THE LIES IN YOUR EYES

VIOLENCE IS AN ENERGY
FROM HERE TO ETERNITY
VIOLENCE IS AN ENERGY
SILENCE IS THE ENEMY
SO GIMME GIMME REVOLUTION



¡ VIVA LA GLORIA !

HEY GLORIA
ARE YOU STANDING CLOSE TO EDGE?
LOOKOUT TO THE SETTING SUM
THE BRINK OF YOUR VISION
ETERNAL YOUTH IS
A LANDSCAPE OF THE LIE

THE CRACKS OF MY SKIN CAN PROVE
AS THE YEARS WILL TESTIFY
SAY YOUR PRAYER AND LIGHT A FIRE
WE'RE GOING TO START A WAR
YOUR SLOGAN'S A GUN FOR HIRE
IT'S WHAT WE WAITED FOR

HEY GLORIA
THIS IS WHY WE'RE ON THE EDGE
THE FIGHT OF OUR LIVES BEEN DRAWN TO
THIS UNDYING LOVE

GLORIA! VIVA LA GLORIA
YOU BLAST YOUR NAME
IN GRAFFITI ON THE WALLS
FALLING THROUGH BROKEN GLASS THAT
SLASHING THROUGH YOUR SPIRIT
I CAN HEAR IT LIKE A JILTED CROWD

GLORIA! WHERE ARE YOU GLORIA?
YOU FOUND A HOME
IN ALL SCARS AND AMMUNITION YOU MADE YOUR BED IN SALAD DAYS
AMONGST THE RUIN
ASHES TO ASHES OF OUR YOUTH

SHE SMASHED HER KNUCKLES INTO WINTER
AS AUTUMN WIND FADES INTO BLACK
SHE IS THE SAINT ON ALL THE SINNERS
THE ONE THAT'S FALLEN THROUGH THE CRACKS
SO DON'T PUT AWAY YOUR BURNING LIGHT

GLORIA! WHERE ARE YOU GLORIA?
DON'T LOSE YOUR FAITH
TO YOUR LOST NAIVETE
WEATHER THE STORM AND DON'T LOOK
BACK ON LAST NOVEMBER
WHEN YOUR BANNERS WERE BURNING DOWN

GLORIA! VIVA LA GLORIA!
SEND ME YOUR AMNESTY DOWN
TO THE BROKEN HEARTED
BRING US THE SEASON
THAT WE ALLWAYS WILL REMEMBER
DON'T LET THE BONFIRES GO OUT

SO GLORIA
SEND OUT YOUR MESSAGE OF THE LIGHT
THAT SHADOWS IN THE NIGHT
GLORIA WHERE'S YOUR UNDYING LOVE?
TELL ME THE STORY OF YOUR LIFE
