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
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 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
Repeat chorus
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
Repeat chorus
