Green Day
CAPO I
C G (x8) C G F (x2)
C G F
Born into Nixon I was raised in hell
C G F
A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled

The last one born and the first one to run

My town was blind from refinery sun
CHORUS
Am F
My generation is zero
Am F G
I never made it as a working class hero
C G F
21st century breakdown
C G F
I once was lost but never was found
C G F
I think I'm losing what's left of my mind
C G F
To the 20th century deadline
C G F (x2)
C G F
I was made of poison and blood
C G F
Condemnation is what I understood
C G F
Video games to the tower's fall
C G F
Homeland Security could kill us all
CHORUS

G
We are the cries of the class of '13
C-G
Born in the year of humility
C-G
We are the desperate in the decline

Raised by the bastards of 1969

My name is 'No one'

Your long lost son

Born on the 4th of July

Raised in the barnyards

Of he-roes and cons

C
I am a nation
F G C
A worker of pride
C G
My debt to the status quo
C
The scars on my hands
F G C
And the means to an end
C G
Is all that I have to show
C F (x2)
C
I swallowed my pride
F G C
And I choked on my faith
C G
I've given my heart and my soul
C
I've broken my fingers
F G C
And lied through my teeth
C G
The pillar of damage control
C
I've been to the edge
F G C
And I've thrown the bouquet
C G
Of flowers left over the grave
C
I sat in the waiting
F G C
Room Wasting my time
C G
And waiting for judgement day
F G C F G C
I praise liberty the freedom to obey
F G C
It's a song that strangles me
F C G
Well don't cross the line
