youth of the nation

• super p.o.d parcasi, satellite albumunden, sanirim albumun en iyisi
• last day of the rest of my life
  i wish i would’ve known
  cause i didn’t kiss my mama goodbye
  
  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
  instead of taking a test
  i took two to the chest
  
  call me blind, but i didn’t see it coming
  everybody was running
  but i couldn’t hear nothing
  
  except 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 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, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, 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 kind of 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 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
  
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  
  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
  
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  we are, we are, (we are) the youth of the nation
  
  youth of the nation...we are(contin.)

• geç saatlerde mtvde sıkça karşılaştığım klip.
• p.o.d., bir rivayete gore bu sarkiyi, 1999 yilinda colorado'da columbine high school'da meydana gelen ve iki ogrenci tarafindan gerceklestirilen ogrenci katliami sonrasi, hayatini kaybeden masum insanlarin anisina yazmistir.
• küreselleşme karşıtlarının marşı diye tanıtılan ve son olarak da boston public adli dizinin ikinci sezonunun ilk bölümünde ogrenciler isyan ederken fonda kullanılan fevkalade melodik şarkı.
• nakarat melodisi dr alban'ın born in africa'sına çok benzeyen, süper video klibi olan p o d şarkısı
• nakarat kısmına hasta oldugum sarkı
• bana göre p.o.d.'nin en başarılı şarkısı, gerek melodisi olsun gerekse de sözleri olsun. her dinleyişimde bana, benim deyişimle bebelik dönemlerimi hatırlatır. ilginç de bir klibi vardır. underrated kelimesini hiç sevmiyorum ama şurda yazılan 10 entry'i görünce bu kelimenin tam karşılığıdır bu şarkı.
• hem oldukça manalı hem de cok güzel bir melodisi olan şarkıdır. arka planda tekrarlanan gitar ritminin hastasıyız. dik, sağlam, hüzünlü ve ciddi. oldukça cool olmakla beraber içindeki ışık parıldar. anlatır..
