21st Century Breakdown by Green Day

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

And lied (7)______________ my teeth
The pillar of (8)____________ control
I've been to the edge
And I've 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"
Is the (9)________ that (10)__________________ me
Well, don't cross the line

(Oh) dream, America dream
I can't even sleep
From the light's early dawn

(Oh) scream, America scream
Believe what you see
From heroes and cons
