Do you know what's worth fighting for When it's not worth dying for? Does it take your breath away And you feel yourself suffocating? Does the pain weigh out the pride? And you look for a place to hide Did someone break your heart inside? You're in ruins One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I When you're at the end of the road And you lost all sense of control And your thoughts have taken their toll When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul Your faith walks on broken glass And the hangover doesn't pass Nothing's ever built to last You're in ruins One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I Did you try to live on your own When you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone? When it's time to live and let die And you can't get another try Something inside this heart has died You're in ruins One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I

Say hey! Cha! Hear the sound of the falling rain Coming down like an Armageddon flame (hey!) The shame, the ones who died without a name Hear the dogs howling out of key To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (hey!) And bleed, the company lost the war today, and Oh I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives (whoa, oh, whoa, oh) On holiday! Hear the drum pounding out of time Another protester has crossed the line (hey!) To find the money's on the other side Can I get another amen? (Amen!) There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (hey!) A gag, a plastic bag on a monument Oh I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives (whoa, oh, whoa, oh) On holiday! Hey! Three, four! The representative from California has the floor "Sieg Heil" to the president Gasman Bombs away is your punishment Pulverize the Eiffel towers Who criticize your government "Bang! Bang!" goes the broken glass, and Kill all the fags that don't agree Try to fight fire, setting fire Is not a way that's meant for me Just 'cause (hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) Just 'cause, because we're outlaws, yeah (hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) Oh I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives (whoa, oh, whoa, oh) I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies This is the dawning of the rest of our lives (whoa, oh, whoa, oh) This is our lives on holiday!

Summer has come and passed The innocent can never last Wake me up when September ends Like my father's come to pass Seven years has gone so fast Wake me up when September ends Here comes the rain again Falling from the stars Drenched in my pain again Becoming who we are As my memory rests But never forgets what I lost Wake me up when September ends Summer has come and passed The innocent can never last Wake me up when September ends Ring out the bells again Like we did when spring began Wake me up when September ends Here comes the rain again Falling from the stars Drenched in my pain again Becoming who we are As my memory rests But never forgets what I lost Wake me up when September ends Summer has come and passed The innocent can never last Wake me up when September ends Like my father's come to pass 20 years has gone so fast Wake me up when September ends Wake me up when September ends Wake me up when September ends
