21st Century Breakdown (Demo)

Pretty much American Idiot with a twist, nothing special.

I WANT THIS ALBUM

uh. lol no.

I'm really looking forward to the new album. Slighty new direction again, with emphesis on American Idiot. Old stuff is still the best. Green Day still showing they are still amazing =) Cant wait for world tour..

I can't wait. I love this song already.

From what I've heard so far, I agree with you Nac2045.

The instrumentals sound pretty good. The vocals seem typical-Green Day. This album, to me, just seems like an extension of American Idiot. Which isn't a bad thing. I was just hoping they could whine about something else for this new album. Ah well. I'm still a die-hard Green Day fan.

This song serves well as an introduction into another album based on a socio-political commentary of the youth, as well as the people who should be taking the power into their own hands, instead of drinking the "poison" the "bastards of 1969." Its an attack on the ideals of the previous generation and this generation for failing to man up and change things; a call to arms, so to speak. "My generation is zero I never made it as a working class hero." In a nutshell: the old American dream is dead, what is the next generation going to do? Hope the rest of the album provokes as much discourse as this song did. Also, the music has improved: Butch Vig is a genious.

First off. This song is about Kurdt Kobain growing up learning guitar and partying in a logging town where pretty much everyone does some kind of labor for a living, which is kind of what kurts dad wanted, but didnt get out of him Oh yea, and, ummm am i the only one who actually listend to the song and noticed that these are not the right lyrics??

the RIGHT ones are eh-hem:

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'm losing what's left of my mind to the 20th century deadline

I was made of poison and blood Combination is what I understood Video games till the towers 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'm losing what's left of my mind to the 20th century deadline

We are the cries of the class of '13 born in the year of humility 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 era of heros and cons Who left me for dead or alive

I am a nation a worker of pride My debt to the status qou The scars on my hands are a means to an end it's all that I have to show

i swallowed my pride and i choked on my pain I'd given my heart and my soul I've broken my fingers and rott through my teeth The pillar of damage control

I've been to the edge and I've thrown the bouquet (hey!) What follows rolls over in graves I sat in there waiting you're wasting my time We're waiting for church today!

Praise Liberty! The freedome to obey! It's a song that strangles me Well don't cross the line

Oh, dream, America dream I can't even sleep from the light through the dark Oh, scream, America scream Believe what you see

From Hero's and Cons.

He's pretty much feeling what everyone who bothers to read once in a while is feeling, like the world is a circus and we're the jugling monkeys.

man you guys are dense.

To cskiba: First off, this song is not about Kurt Cobain. Second, Kurdt Kobain is Kurt's alias. If you're going to talk about Kurt's childhood then spell his name right. Lastly, these are the lyrics to "21st Century Breakdown (Demo)" emphasis on DEMO.

To Voonzta: F.O.D. man, F.O.D.
