Curiel added, "When you can hear something that's going to uplift you like ' Alive' or something that's going to bring out knowledge like 'Youth of the Nation,' we've done our jobs as an artist." [4] Lyrics and song structure [ edit ] I don't think you understand death. Have you ever been near it, or even thought about it. Telling us to all die in a brutal way is stupid. You are the type that likes to pass the blame, people are the root of all problems.

Lane from Lansing, IaTruly a deep song, and all you people who think it's Christians that do this look up "voice of the martyrs" then you will find the truth. They sat in the studio in San Diego, watching the news in disbelief. “We were going, ‘What’s happening with this craziness? What’s wrong with the kids today, with the youth of the nation?’” says Sandoval.

Brynden from Puyallup, Waman this song is gnarly. reading that comment by justin is just unbelievable.. i cant imagine seeing my friend get shot like that. this song has a lot of meaning. this sounds cliche but Violence is not the only way to get your anger out, infact its not the answer at all. God is the only way. He's behind you every step, every second, every min. of your life. he can help you. God Bless Youth of the Nation (Australian CD single liner notes). P.O.D.

[...] But, Viacom and MTV had us edit that out because kids are so easily influenced." [4] Awards [ edit ] Troy from Roscoe, Il-toby- I am just going to point out that people left England and came to the U.S. to freely interpret the bible in their own ways. They fought for so long against the church for their right to read and interpret it in their own eyes. All religions in some way require the person to have their own beliefs about religion, but are bound by vauge rules that all believers see as true.

Lacie from Whitefish, MtI love this song!!!

It is similar to "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam in that there were both shootings at a school. It is sad when something like that happens but having a song about it helps to get through. As they talked, guitarist Marcos Curiel began strumming sombre chords. “We just started to jam,” says Sandoval. “Just to get out what we were feeling.” A vocal hook came to the singer: 'We are, we are… the youth of the nation.'
