I've given my heart and my soul
     REb
I've broken my fingers
    SOLb LAb        REb
And lied through my teeth
                        LAb
The pillar of damage control
     REb
I've been to the edge
         SOLb   LAb    REb
And I've thrown the bouquet
                              LAb
Of flowers left over from the grave
  REb
I sat in the waiting room
SOLb LAb   REb
Wasting my time
                         LAb
And waiting for Judgment Day
  SOLb     LAb REb
I praise liber-ty
     SOLb       LAb REb
The "freedom to o---bey"
       SOLb           LAb  REb
Is the song that strangles me
     SOLb            LAb   SOLb  LAb  SOLb  LAb
Well don't cross the line

From the light's early dawn

Oh scream, America, scream

Believe what you see
     LA         REb
From heroes and cons

21st Century Breakdown è un brano inciso dai Green Day, contenuto nell'album omonimo pubblicato nel 2009. Ottavo lavoro in studio per il trio punk-rock statunitense, si tratta di un concept album diviso in tre atti che racconta le vicende di una giovane coppia alle prese con il caos del nuovo millennio. La canzone, quella che dà il titolo al disco, è il quarto singolo da esso estratto; il testo racconta la vita di uno dei due protagonisti, Christian... ma secondo alcuni non è altro che la biografia di Billie Joe Armstrong.
