21st Century Breakdown (Demo) Lyrics

Lyric discussion by cskiba 

Cover art for 21st Century Breakdown (Demo) lyrics by Green Day

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.

Song Meaning

No, but you might be the only one who listened to it and didn't realize that the demo version is different than the final release.

Your needlessly redundant and long post includes all the lyrics from the latter, which are in fact already posted separately on the website.

There is a reason this listing is labeled (demo).

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.
