21St century breakdown

Born into Nixon, I was raised in hell
出生在尼克松，我在地獄中長大。
A welfare child where the teamsters dwelled
在最底層居住區，我靠福利養大。

最小的孩子生出來，最大的孩子就得開始辛勤勞作。
The last one born, the first one to run
“精煉的”陽光看似普照，而我的城鎮卻一片黑暗。

我們這一代一文不值。
My town was blind by refinery sun
我從未成功地成為一名工人階級的英雄。

垮掉的二十一世紀。
My generation is zero
我曾一度迷失且從未被拯救。

我想我正在丟棄遺留在我腦海中的東西
I never made it as a working class hero
丟棄到二十世紀這一截至日期。
21st century breakdown
我由毒藥和血液造就。

我所知道的一切就是罪惡。
I once was lost but never was found
從電子遊戲到高塔的倒塌

國土安全部會把我們全都殺掉
I think Im losing whats left of my mind
我們這一代一文不值。
to the 20th century deadline
我從未成功地成為一名工人階級的英雄。

垮掉的二十一世紀。
I was made of poison and blood
我曾一度迷失且從未被拯救。

我想我正在丟棄遺留在我腦海中的東西
Condemnation is what I understood
丟棄到二十世紀這一截至日期。

我們是新的一代
Videogames to the towers fall
出生在一切講究謙卑的年代。

我們是墮落中的絕望
Homeland security could kill us all
被1969年的雜種們養大

我是無名小卒
My generation is zero
你遺失很久的兒子

出生在7月4日
I never made it as a working class hero
在英雄們和反對派的年代被養大
21st century breakdown
將我推向不是苟活就是死亡的未來。

我就是一個國家
I once was lost but never was found
一名有尊嚴的工人
I think Im losing whats left of my mind
我對現狀欠的債
to the 20th century deadline
我雙手的傷痕就是通往結局的方式

這就是我必須要給你們看到的全部
We are the cries of the class of 13
我吞下我的尊嚴
born in the era of humility
卻被我的信仰哽住
we are the desperate in the decline
我已獻出我的內心和靈魂

我已折斷我的手指
raised by the bastards of 1969
然後滿口謊言

損害管制的支柱
My name is no one
我曾到過邊緣
the long lost son
我曾把鮮花盛宴
Born on the 4th of July
拋向墳墓

我在等候室坐著
Raised in an era of heroes and cons
百無聊賴，消磨時間
left me for dead or alive
等待著審判日的到來

我讚頌自由
I am a nation
服從的自由
A worker of pride
這是一首扼殺我的歌
my debt to the status quo
然而，別逾越界線。
the scars on my hands are a means to an end
夢想， 美國之夢
its all that I have to show
我甚至不能入眠

在破曉的晨光之下
I swallowed my pride
尖叫，美國尖叫
And I choked on my faith
你仍否相信你所看到的？
Ive given my heart and my soul
從英雄們到反對派？

Ive broken my fingers
And lied through my teeth
The pillar of damage control
Ive been to the edge
And Ive thrown the bouquet
of flowers left over the grave
I sat in the waiting room
Wasting my time
And waiting for judgement day
I praise liberty
the freedom to obey
Its a song that strangles me
well dont cross the line

Oh dream American dream
I cant even sleep
From the lights early dawn

Oh Scream America scream
Believe what you see
From heroes and cons
