21st Century Kids lyrics
This song is about the struggles of the 21st century kids, who find themselves trying to find something to believe in, while experiencing the highs and lows of life. Leaving their homes for the promise of a better future, they face broken dreams and hearts, before finding a God in the gutter and the importance of real friends in the end. With an upbeat melody, the song encourages us to keep our heads up and stay humble in the face of adversity.

We left our homes
Went to cities
Grass was greener
Skies were pretty
Dreams were big and money low
Didn’t matter
We’d still go
Broke some hearts and
Got ours broken
Built a fortune
Had it taken
Lived it up high in the clouds
Almost died when crashing downWhat doesn’t kill you makes you humble
No one can be forever young though
I put my middle one up in the air
Because fuck it, I’m doing the best that I can here21st century kids
I’m a little reckless and I skinned my knees
Trying to find something that I believe
Because I just wanna break free
I wanna break free21st century kids
I’m a little reckless and I skinned my knees
Trying to find something that I believe
Because I just wanna break free
I wanna break freeWe left our homes
Went to cities
Lights were brighter
Streets were gritty
Stakes were high and chances low
Didn’t matter
We’d still go
Traded gold for all that glitter
Found a God while in the gutter
And only thanks to my fake friends
I know which ones are until the endWhat doesn’t kill you makes you humble
No one can be forever young though
I put my middle one up in the air
Because fuck it, I’m doing the best that I can here21st century kids
I’m a little reckless and I skinned my knees
Trying to find something that I believe
Because I just wanna break free
I wanna break free21st century kids
I’m a little reckless and I skinned my knees
Trying to find something that I believe
Because I just wanna break free
I wanna break freeBecause I just wanna break free
I wanna break free
