This song has got to be the most powerful song out there to describe todays youth. I love how media always jumps to conclusions and blames musicians for such things as school shootings, suicides, etc... It really makes me mad to hear that. its not the musicians fault its how the child is treated in his life. I think the most powerful lines in this song are the one about the suicide because it once related to how i felt and how i was. Luckily i've relized that life if more important than anythng and just simply being alive is something to be happy about. Things may not always go your way but you have an entire life to wait for that one good thing to happen. i know myself i try to help others and be the best i can be for the small hope that maybe i'll get some good in return. Maybe its a fool's Hope but i still believe that something good will happen. Not to be like this huge preacher or anything but i think many people should listen to artist who sing about things such as i am saying now. Bon Jovi is one such artist. In the majority of his songs he sings about such things as run your own life, don't let others run it and be who u want to be. P.O.D is another such artist which through there lyrics teachs todays youth that life is the most important thing no matter what people say. don't end it, embrace it. Cause when everything goes downhill and you have nothing left u'll still be alive and its something u should be happy about. Its sad to see that many kids though are having there life run by fads and "popular" things. thats not the way to live life. live it the way YOU want to. You don't need to prove anything to anyone. if they can't except you for what you are then they aren't your friend. IDK i'm prolly just saying stuff that no one will really care about but its something everyone should take into consideration. individuality is the ebst thing u can have cause if you don't have that then life is just boring. your basically mirror images of each other. This song just gets me ranting about how stupid people can be sometimes. Well i got to go help my mom with building stuff. If you want more of this WONDERFUL philosophy just let me know.
Last day of the rest of my life
I wish I would’ve known
Cause I didn’t kiss my mama goodbye
I didn’t tell her that I loved her and how much I care
Or thank my pops for all the talks
And all the wisdom he shared
Unaware, I just did what I always do
Everyday, the same routine
Before I skate off to school
But who knew that this day wasn’t like the rest
Instead of taking a test
I took two to the chest
Call me blind, but I didn’t see it coming
Everybody was running
But I couldn’t hear nothing
Except gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don’t really know this kid
Even though I sit by him in class
Maybe this kid was reaching out for love
Or maybe for a moment
He forgot who he was
Or maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged
Whatever it was
I know it’s because
We are, We are, the youth of the nation
Little Suzy, she was only twelve
She was given the world
With every chance to excel
Hang with the boys and hear the stories they tell
She might act kind of proud
But no respect for herself
She finds love in all the wrong places
The same situations
Just different faces
Changed up her pace since her daddy left her
Too bad he never told her
She deserved much better
Johnny boy always played the fool
He broke all the rules
So you would think he was cool
He was never really one of the guys
No matter how hard he tried
Often thought of suicide
It’s kind of hard when you ain’t got no friends
He put his life to an end
They might remember him then
You cross the line and there’s no turning back
Told the world how he felt
With the sound of a gat
Who’s to blame for the lives that tragedies claim
No matter what you say
It don’t take away the pain
That I feel inside, I’m tired of all the lies
Don’t nobody know why
It’s the blind leading the blind
I guess that’s the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense
Somebody’s got to know
There’s got to be more to life than this
There’s got to be more to everything
I thought exists
