Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would've known
Cause I didn't kiss my mama good-bye

I didn't tell her that I loved her and how much I care
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
Inseadt of takin the test
I took two to the chest

Call me blind but I didn't see it comming
Everybody was running
But I couldn't hear nothin

Except the gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class

Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe one moment he forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was I know it's because

Chorus: We are, we are, the youth of the nation

Little Suzy, 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 situation just different faces

Chaned up her pace since her daddy left
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 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 tradedies claim
No matter what you way 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 thats the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebodys 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
