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 am 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 to the tower's fall
Homeland security could kill us all
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 am losing what's left of my mind
To the 20th century deadline
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 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 from the grave
I sat in the waiting room
Wasting my time
And waiting for Judgment Day
I praise liberty
The "freedom to obey"
Is 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

So whoever commented and said that the lyrics were "We are the cl**** of, the cl**** of '13" was wrong. They're obviously "We are the cries of the cl**** of '13" and that can be verified in the actual album booklet. So someone should get on that and change it. And maybe people should learn how to use the English language correctly and actually know the lyrics before they try and correct somebody else.

It's all correct except it's,"Lept over the grave" not "left over from the grave". lol

The lyrics on this website re right EXCEPT it says "we are the cries of the cl**** of 13" the axctual words are just "We are the cl**** of, the cl**** of 13!" and like****12 you need to get yourself a REAL version of the song

does anybody knows what does "video game's of the tower's fall" exactly supposed to mean? i know it resembles about the wtc but is there something more specific to it?
ChemicalVampire
there are 2 different versions. one that says 'Video Games to towers fall' and 'From Mexico to the Berlin Wall'. I have both versions. one is on my computer the other is on my phone.
P0rta Potty
nothing. because thats not what he says. he says "From Mexico to the Berlin wall" Im not sure what version of the song you listen to but the one i have sounds NOTHING like video games of the towers fall

I think it means how we condemn the violence of 9/11 yet play video games based on m****acring people.
