Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me . I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
I know this is old post so you will most likely never see this. But back when this video debuted I 21 years old and felt the same goosebumps as you did back then
This song came out when I was a sophomore in high school. I felt this song was speaking to us. I would always sing along to it whenever I heard it. I was 16. Lots of changes that year.
P.O.D. stands for "Payable On Death"... They r actually a Christian rock band formed in the 90's in California and incorporated rap, reggae and rock and rode the 'nu metal' wave in the late 90's... 'Youth of the nation' came in 2001 on the heels of the Columbine school shootings and was a huge hit from P.O.D.'s 4th album 'Satellite' which sold 3x platinum ... It was a more uplifting rock record at the time (They were somewhere between partying hard and shredding about negativity) P.O.D. featured Sonny Sandoval (vocals), Traa Daniels (bass), Wuv Bernardo (drums) and Marcos Curiel (guitar)... (Guitarist Jason Truby did 2 records between 2003 and 2006 when Marcos Curiel was out of the band) The band released 2 indie albums before signing to a major label and releasing 3rd album 'The fundamental elements of Southtown' in 1999 and got them on MTV w/ the singles - 'Rock the party'... 'Southtown'... The 4th album 'Satellite' was a major hit in 2001 w/ the MTV singles - 'Alive' ... 'Satellite' ... 'Youth of the nation' ... 'Boom'... 🔥🔥 Subsequent albums were less successful... P.O.D. had a song on the 'Matrix' movie soundtrack - 'Sleeping awake'... The 5th album 'Payable on death' had the single - 'Will you'. P.O.D released their 10th studio album in 2018 - 'Circles'... a new album 'Veritas' is due out in 2024.
The line “he crossed the line and there’s no turning back, he told the world how he felt with the sound of a gat” always gives me chills. I will forever love this band. I was in 7th grade when this album came out. I’m 35 today and still listen to it frequently. Sadly, this song holds more relevance today than it ever did then.
This is one of my favorite songs when I was a teen. Still gives me chills to this day. Should also react to their song Alive its so good. Great reaction Biss!!❤👏
The album that this was on dropped in 2001. I was only 17 turning 18 then, and this song was heavy on my rotation. I had seen a lot of teenage pregnancy, teenage suicide, school shootings were popping off, drugs, teens dying in drunk driving accidents. It really hit close to home. Sad thing is that 22 years later, I haven't seen it get much better for kids. I also highly suggest Southdown and Alive by this band.
I was 16 and friends was dropping like crazy. No one to talk to or they would avoid you if you brought up any of it. Wanted to end it all but pushed threw it by working as much as possible. Here i am around 38yo in the middle of my 80 acer farm and still no one to talk to, single, no kids. If it wasn't for music..
I was 20. I worked @ a Family Christian book store & bought every CD they had of p.o.d. I was fired for having the devil in me. Why did they sale it then? Also the store owner was an 18 year old gay man who got the store manager job from his father in Texas, who loved me when he hired me. Then seemed to realize I wasn't gay. For a whole year I got called from coworkers asking why I didn't show. I was like guys I got fired a year ago. And they said I was working when "black people" stole jewelry. I had not worked there in over 6 months. Weirdest work experience ever.
4 most of a year after I was let go, I was getting calls that I was supposed to be on shift. I let people steal. I hadn't worked there in over 6 months!
This is a very powerful song. The part where the youth join in and sing gives me chills. Yet, the song remains unfinished. Problems were stated, but no solution given, no hope offered. "Will it ever make sense? Somebody's got to know. There's got to be more to life than this." As a Christian band, POD knows the answer to these questions, Jesus Christ. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He is our only hope. He alone gives life purpose and meaning. Sadly, POD did not offer Him to their listeners as the answer in this song. We need one more verse to make the song complete.
When I was a teen this came out, this was written for my generation but really every generation can benefit from this great song especially today like you said. I have a P O.D poster with alot of warrior names on in including mine. Warriors is what they call their fans.
This song about a school shooting, POD is from san diego there was a school shooting in SD shortly before this song came out! It also has influences from columbine! Such a somber song!!
This song never gets old and every time and despite the time it always gives me chills. great reaction Miss Bisscute and I loved your message at the end completely agree with you.❤❤❤ For future reactions I recommend the following songs with messages that never gets old: Genesis songs: No son of mine and land of confusion. Peter Gabriel, song: Don't give up. I'm sure you will like them😊
It's nice, one of the groups from my youth (I know I'm old...). excellent group still active, full of power and energy, they deserve other reactions. thank you bisscute❤. Kiss from France
You're extremely intelligent and observant with your commentary. I always love to hear what you think of all these songs and how they bridge generations of fans, and still provide the same message. Great Job!!!
P.O.D.which stands for “Payable On Death” is a Christian band on a secular label. This is one of their early hits, and it still hits hard. They are very distinctive. You ought to listen to some of their more recent songs.
This song was posted to TH-cam 14 years ago. But the album was released in the mid 90's. The band members are surviving Gen Xers. All the people mentioned are real people that Sonny knew. First, his parents killed during a school shooting. Suzie, who was a friend of his in middle school. She fell into drugs and depression in high school after her dad abandoned her. A good lesson for parents: DO NOT ABANDON YOUR CHILDREN! Suzie would end up dying of an overdose. Her mother took her own life on a couple of months after Suzie's funeral. Johnny was a classmate of Sonny's who committed suicide. The blind leading blind has become the standard in the United States. For those that don't know Gen X is the only US generation that didn't have 20 years. It is only 15 year generation due to the seriously high number of 15 year old girls giving birth starting in 1982. The generation is from 1967 to 1982. This means during those 15 years more Gen X babies were born then any generation. However, this generation once was nearly 200 million strong. Today, there is only around 300k of us left. Why such a drop? 1. Between 1960 to 1990 this country has had more pedophile serial killers active than the entire rest of the world had combined between 1900 to 2000. 2. Nearly 1 of 3 Gen X children were killed by abusive parents before they reached the age of 10. 3. From 1986-1993 there was an unnamed street gang war. Most of the gangers, probably around 90-95% were Gen Xers. It's the escalation to automatic weapons that led law enforcement to escalate their own weapons and why they are violent. 4. We have had 40% more suicides than any other generation in US history. Those numbers were higher in some years than even countries like Japan that suicide as Honorable. To the Millennials and Zoomers that came after us. Your lives can be so much better than ours were, if you only apply yourself and stay focused. And remember, it can always be worse, so make the best you can with what you have.
This song was inspired by the shootings at a High School in California. The shooting was very close to where P.O.D. was working that day, and inspired this song. You can read some interview on the internet with the band when they explain all the process and inspiration on the album.
I actually saw this band a year ago, when they opened for Jinjer. I think I saw the keyboardist became a second drummer for this song. I’ve read that Tatiana is married to POD’s drummer, Alex Lopez.
@Bisscute: Just so you know, P.O.D. is a Christian Nu-Metal band, with similar vibes (though without the screaming of) to Linkin Park. Standing for "Payable On Death," this band has a Christian background, similar to Avenged Sevenfold. However, this band had an inspirational take that for many kids my age, we needed. Too many times, we would hear of school shootings (Columbine in 1999, forward), and it seemed like drugs and gang activities made things hopeless for us. But songs like this gave us hope that one day, things would get better. Sadly, many of us are still waiting for that day. That being said, I recommend Satellite and Alive off this album. Additionally, I recommend the band Flyleaf, as they made a song dedicated to Columbine, and I also recommend Five Finger Death Punch's song Coming Down. Hope you like this one!

As a kid with depression, the lyrics about the kid Johnny were always what grounded me when I heard this song. I found you through your Sound of Silence video, and saw this in your feed, and had to immediately click. This is the foundation of the man I am today, like top 5 most important songs of my life, so I'm glad you have done a video for it. Hope that wasn't a big trauma dump or anything, just had a moment where I burst into tears when looking for the lyrics I talked about first, and felt like sharing my connections with this song. I'm getting ready for a lot more tears when I start it.
Sorry you suffer from depression my friend. My brother suffered for years, decades actually & considered suicide over & over. At Witt’s end & no hope his wife discovered a podcast of a former Navy Seal encouraging people suffering from depression to try a treatment called HBOT. What is HBOT. It’s called Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. You get into this pod type contraption, sit down for a session of breathing in pure oxygen. Basically it gets into your blood cells & circulatory system & over time a person will respond positively to treatment & diminishing negative thoughts and such. I’m not an expert what so ever but please look into it. 👍🙏🤘🎶
I first heard this song back in middle school back in 01 this song help me through a lot back than mostly being bullied and I still listen to this song not everyday but I still listen to it every now and than thank you so much for the reaction.
Hey Biss, I also recommend this masterpiece from P.O.D.: -Set It Off -Alive -Boom -Satellite -Portrait (suuuper nice song imo) and of course, by the way, I recommend a few other songs by my favorite rock band right now, namely - Foo Fighters - All My Life - Everlong - Rope - Learn To Fly - Wheels - Walk - The Sky Is A Neighborhood - These Days and my recent fresh discovery Dead Poet Society - Running In Circles / HURT Dead Poet Society - How could I love you?
Very nice guys, met them once, didn't realize they were part of my family lmfao. Someone asked me after they left "do you know who they are?" I responded "cousins?" They all laughed, they said "Thats P.O.D." Very humble people.
I am a fan of P.O.D. and I am surprised that someone requested this. Lots of people hate them and make fun of them because this band is a Christian band. Please react to their video : School Of Hard Knocks.
They are from San Diego, this song was about school shootings. The one in Colorado then in March of 01' the shooting at Santana High School. That when they did the song
They made this song because when they were in Seattle they where stopped in a traffic jam cause there was a school shooting down the street from where they were.
How I wish this song wasn't still relevant. I think this is a very compassionate song in the lyrics that surround the events in the song. For instance, first verse he talks about getting shot in the chest. "I don't really know this kid 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 needed to be hugged." Powerful. Especially when we talking about kids who live without love in their life. Maybe if that kid was hugged he wouldn't want to shoot anybody. How many kids struggle with this kind of loneliness in their lives? Poor Suzy, never got the love and support and respect of her father. Now she's messing up in loveless relationships over and over again. Same story, different faces. Johnny boy always played the fool. He broke all the rules so you would think he's 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. Kids need more love.
Youth of the Nation Lyrics 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, how much I cared Or thank my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared Unaware, I just did what I always do Every day, the same routine before I skate off to school But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest? Instead of takin' a test, I took two to the chest Call me blind, but I didn't see it comin' Everybody was runnin', but I couldn't hear nothin' except Gun blasts, it happened so fast I don't really know this kid, though I sit by him in class Maybe this kid was reachin' 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 (We are) the youth of the nation We are, we are (We are) youth of the nation We are, we are (We are) the youth of the nation We are, we are (We are) 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 We are, we are (We are) the youth of the nation We are, we are (We are) youth of the nation We are, we are (We are) the youth of the nation We are, we are (We are) youth of the nation 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 leadin' the blind Guess that's the way the story goes Will it ever make sense? Somebody's gotta know There's gotta be more to life than this There's gotta be more to everything I thought exists We are, we are, the youth of the nation We are, we are, youth of the nation We are, we are (We are, we are) the youth of the nation We are, we are (We are, we are) youth of the nation We are, we are (We are, we are) the youth of the nation (The youth of the nation) We are, we are (We are, we are) youth of the nation (The youth of the nation) We are, we are (We are, we are) the youth of the nation (The youth of the nation) We are, we are (We are, we are) youth of the nation (The youth of the nation) (We are) Youth of the nation (We are) Youth of the nation (We are) Youth of the nation (We are) Youth of the Nation is the second single off of P.O.D.’s fourth album, Satellite. The chorus is a statement, one of the nation’s youth who are supposed to be the new leaders moving the nation forward instead are having to deal with anger, depression, and violence amongst themselves. The song was inspired by the 2001 Santana High School shooting. The band was actually only two blocks away writing for their album Satellite when the shootings happened and they had taken a break and went out for some coffee when they all saw the fire trucks and the police department and the helicopters and news. The song deals with issues facing American youth at the time. The first verse deals with an unnamed boy who is shot and killed by his own classmate in a school shooting. The boy talks about regretting not being able to say goodbye to his parents, recalls the school shooting, and wonders why his classmate made the decision to open fire on his school. The second verse has two different stories. The first story deals with a 12-year-old Susie who deals with low self-esteem and goes into abusive relationships. Susie acts confident to try and hide her self-esteem and lack of a father figure in her life. The second story deals with a boy named Johnny who acts like a class clown to hide his suicidal thoughts. Johnny’s depression catches up to him and he shoots himself, believing he will at least be remembered in death. The third verse has Sonny being angry that nobody knows what’s going on with the youth that’s causing depression, violence, and suicide.
5:40 - That is what should bring us different generations closer as we are more the same yet just do not realise it until we are older and look backwards at our parents at our age in videos and have a 'WHOA' moment of clarity! The gap is minimal and superficial in generations over time. You will be 30, then 40, then 50 - when you are there - look backwards and then at the current generation in 2063 GenC and you will see them as different or you will heed your past and your parents past and noticed the 'tells' that there is so much that is the same it is uncanny!!! I kid you not!
Love this reaction!! P.O.D. is one of my favorite bands of all time. I recommend you a reaction to their songs "Going In Blind", "Execute The Sounds", "Sounds Like War", "Set It Off", "Freedom Fighters", "Wildfire", and "Roots In Stereo".
P.O.D uma das melhores bandas da nossa geração essa musica está entre as top 10 da minha play list. Essa musica é melancolica por isso toca no fundo do coração. Gosto muito um estilo único rap com un toque de rock. ❤❤❤. Demais
I remember when this song came put…these guys were gen x….were the same age basically…we ALL feel the same, we experience the same emotion, no matter what generation, we experience them in different ways and situations….it speaks to all generations…
Such a good song. I would love it if you did more rap heavy nu metal music. For example: Limp Bizkit has a lot of great stuff, with a very varying sound on each album.
The lead singer was entered to Hall of fame of Rock and Roll for text to this song. Some cities administrations cancelled their concerts because of too violent text .
Somebody most likely alraeady told u but jic: the song is about the columbine highschool shooting (USA) that happened in 1999. If you hear the song carefully you can tell is from the POV from one of the kids who was shot that day. Its pretty rough. Also another fact Biss, P.O.D. means Payable on Death. †
They have some good songs and I'd say one of the better bands to come out of the nu metal genre. Sidenote: Carhenge, an artistic replica of Stonehenge, appears in the video, behind a group of youngsters from my hometown of Alliance, Nebraska. You can also find videos at this location during the 2017 total solar eclipse, when thousands of people from around the world gathered to view it.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .
I will leave this pinned message here to REMIND everyone that i do not have TELEGRAM and there is no GIVEAWAY. Those you see are bot scams . Keep yourself safe and know that I would not ask for your info. ❤ ❤
Hey cute, plis react to indonesian new metal, saint loco- terapi energi ❤❤❤❤
22 years old and still goosebumps👍🤟
22....?! Omfg I’m so old 😮😢
Feel the same and I'm 55. I don't even remember 22 due to self abuse. Enjoy your youth because it's gone in a blink.
Music is a feeling, time is irrelevant.

Same
P.O.D. was a big band early this century. "Boom", "Alive" and "Sleeping Awake" are good songs as well.
Sleeping Awake is their best track imo.
Katy Perry did background vocals for them before she got famous
Bisscute this song is 23 years old, probably older than you lol😊
Satellite is a banger too
I was 13 when this album and song came out and still in 2024 I still get goosebumps and the chills

I like where you said, "At 18 - 19 its so easy to take a wrong turn without proper guidance." I hope a lot of people hear your words.
This is one of my favorite songs when I was a teen. Still gives me chills to this day. Should also react to their song Alive its so good. Great reaction Biss!!❤👏

The band members are surviving Gen Xers.
All the people mentioned are real people that Sonny knew.
First, his parents killed during a school shooting.
Suzie, who was a friend of his in middle school. She fell into drugs and depression in high school after her dad abandoned her. A good lesson for parents: DO NOT ABANDON YOUR CHILDREN!
Suzie would end up dying of an overdose. Her mother took her own life on a couple of months after Suzie's funeral.
Johnny was a classmate of Sonny's who committed suicide.
The blind leading blind has become the standard in the United States.

The generation is from 1967 to 1982. This means during those 15 years more Gen X babies were born then any generation.
However, this generation once was nearly 200 million strong.
Today, there is only around 300k of us left.
Why such a drop?
1. Between 1960 to 1990 this country has had more pedophile serial killers active than the entire rest of the world had combined between 1900 to 2000.
2. Nearly 1 of 3 Gen X children were killed by abusive parents before they reached the age of 10.
3. From 1986-1993 there was an unnamed street gang war. Most of the gangers, probably around 90-95% were Gen Xers. It's the escalation to automatic weapons that led law enforcement to escalate their own weapons and why they are violent.
4. We have had 40% more suicides than any other generation in US history.
Those numbers were higher in some years than even countries like Japan that suicide as Honorable.
To the Millennials and Zoomers that came after us. Your lives can be so much better than ours were, if you only apply yourself and stay focused.
And remember, it can always be worse, so make the best you can with what you have.
This song was inspired by the shootings at a High School in California. The shooting was very close to where P.O.D. was working that day, and inspired this song. You can read some interview on the internet with the band when they explain all the process and inspiration on the album.
I actually saw this band a year ago, when they opened for Jinjer. I think I saw the keyboardist became a second drummer for this song. I’ve read that Tatiana is married to POD’s drummer, Alex Lopez.
this song was made November 27, 2001 i remember this song when i was young and was very moved by it
Yup i remember when I bought this album
For some reason i was sure u had already seen this one. Is an absolute piece of art

This is the foundation of the man I am today, like top 5 most important songs of my life, so I'm glad you have done a video for it. Hope that wasn't a big trauma dump or anything, just had a moment where I burst into tears when looking for the lyrics I talked about first, and felt like sharing my connections with this song. I'm getting ready for a lot more tears when I start it.
Sorry you suffer from depression my friend. My brother suffered for years, decades actually & considered suicide over & over. At Witt’s end & no hope his wife discovered a podcast of a former Navy Seal encouraging people suffering from depression to try a treatment called HBOT. What is HBOT. It’s called Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. You get into this pod type contraption, sit down for a session of breathing in pure oxygen. Basically it gets into your blood cells & circulatory system & over time a person will respond positively to treatment & diminishing negative thoughts and such. I’m not an expert what so ever but please look into it. 👍🙏🤘🎶
That was a great start to the century... two years later the songs Alive and Sleeping Awake arrived!! 🎸 🔊 🔊 🔊
I first heard this song back in middle school back in 01 this song help me through a lot back than mostly being bullied and I still listen to this song not everyday but I still listen to it every now and than thank you so much for the reaction.
56yrs and still consider myself as the youth of a nation ❤😂
Surprisingly they are considered as a Christian group! I remember when this song came out when I was in 8th grade and they still are doing concerts
POD has a new track with Lamb of God's lead singer, Randy Blythe (bly, the 'the' is silent.). Great song. Drop, I think is what its called.
This song takes me back
Hey Biss, I also recommend this masterpiece from P.O.D.:

- All My Life
- Everlong
- Rope
- Learn To Fly
- Wheels
- Walk
- The Sky Is A Neighborhood
- These Days
and my recent fresh discovery
Dead Poet Society - Running In Circles / HURT
Dead Poet Society - How could I love you?
Next video reaction stone temple pilots, unplugged plush or interstate love song.
Shocked and amazed that as much as you like Queen you've never reacted to Barcelona by Freddy Mercury and Montserrat Caballé singing Barcelona.
If I'm not mistaken, this song was written after a school shooting, and then the Colombine shooting happened not long after.
Very nice guys, met them once, didn't realize they were part of my family lmfao. Someone asked me after they left "do you know who they are?" I responded "cousins?" They all laughed, they said "Thats P.O.D." Very humble people.
I am going on 64,and I love it This is Very Powerful
I am a fan of P.O.D. and I am surprised that someone requested this. Lots of people hate them and make fun of them because this band is a Christian band. Please react to their video : School Of Hard Knocks.
They are from San Diego, this song was about school shootings. The one in Colorado then in March of 01' the shooting at Santana High School. That when they did the song
Oh? ❤️
Ah POD are so awesome! BOOM goes so hard! 🔥
Glad you did this song. It made my updated list of fave tracks last year. The lyrics address very important topics. And rock + rap = fire.
They made this song because when they were in Seattle they where stopped in a traffic jam cause there was a school shooting down the street from where they were.
btw POD is a Christian Rock / Rap Band and also how Katie Perry got her start
I'm actually really proud of you bringing this to your subscribers. 👍💙💯
Well said Bisscute. Love your reactions. Keep up the great work
If you like older stuff too do 38 Special. Big fan of them. I think you will like them.
I completely agree with you Biss. We all take the good with the bad. P.O.D. is a great band.You should do more reactions to them. See you on Twitch.
Estaba esperando pacientemente y llegó el turno de POD WOW de los mejores en estilos. Para mi el favorito. 🔥😊 Gracias por tu reaccionar 💖
this song received recognition from the ONU
This song was dedicated to the massacre Santana High School shooting.....Columbine High School
Crazy this album was released on 9-11
thanks sweety one of the songs I wanted you to check out appreciate it!!!
Check out P.O.D. BOOM, and Alive. Some more great hits by them. My first concert i went to.
Wow! I was 26 lol classic jam! I saw them iin Virginia Beach 2013. It was before Sonny cut off his dreads! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
Tour de force album. I think you might like it.
How I wish this song wasn't still relevant. I think this is a very compassionate song in the lyrics that surround the events in the song.
For instance, first verse he talks about getting shot in the chest. "I don't really know this kid 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 needed to be hugged."
Powerful. Especially when we talking about kids who live without love in their life. Maybe if that kid was hugged he wouldn't want to shoot anybody. How many kids struggle with this kind of loneliness in their lives?
Poor Suzy, never got the love and support and respect of her father. Now she's messing up in loveless relationships over and over again. Same story, different faces.
Johnny boy always played the fool. He broke all the rules so you would think he's 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.
Kids need more love.
Youth of the Nation Lyrics
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, how much I cared
Or thank my pops for all the talks and all the wisdom he shared
Unaware, I just did what I always do
Every day, the same routine before I skate off to school
But who knew that this day wasn't like the rest?
Instead of takin' a test, I took two to the chest
Call me blind, but I didn't see it comin'
Everybody was runnin', but I couldn't hear nothin' except
Gun blasts, it happened so fast
I don't really know this kid, though I sit by him in class
Maybe this kid was reachin' 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 (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) 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
We are, we are (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are) youth of the nation
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 leadin' the blind
Guess that's the way the story goes
Will it ever make sense? Somebody's gotta know
There's gotta be more to life than this
There's gotta be more to everything I thought exists
We are, we are, the youth of the nation
We are, we are, youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are, we are) the youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are, we are) youth of the nation
We are, we are (We are, we are) the youth of the nation (The youth of the nation)
We are, we are (We are, we are) youth of the nation (The youth of the nation)
We are, we are (We are, we are) the youth of the nation (The youth of the nation)
We are, we are (We are, we are) youth of the nation (The youth of the nation)
(We are) Youth of the nation
(We are) Youth of the nation
(We are) Youth of the nation
(We are)
Youth of the Nation is the second single off of P.O.D.’s fourth album, Satellite.
The chorus is a statement, one of the nation’s youth who are supposed to be the new leaders moving the nation forward instead are having to deal with anger, depression, and violence amongst themselves.
The song was inspired by the 2001 Santana High School shooting. The band was actually only two blocks away writing for their album Satellite when the shootings happened and they had taken a break and went out for some coffee when they all saw the fire trucks and the police department and the helicopters and news.
The song deals with issues facing American youth at the time. The first verse deals with an unnamed boy who is shot and killed by his own classmate in a school shooting. The boy talks about regretting not being able to say goodbye to his parents, recalls the school shooting, and wonders why his classmate made the decision to open fire on his school.
The second verse has two different stories. The first story deals with a 12-year-old Susie who deals with low self-esteem and goes into abusive relationships. Susie acts confident to try and hide her self-esteem and lack of a father figure in her life.
The second story deals with a boy named Johnny who acts like a class clown to hide his suicidal thoughts. Johnny’s depression catches up to him and he shoots himself, believing he will at least be remembered in death.
The third verse has Sonny being angry that nobody knows what’s going on with the youth that’s causing depression, violence, and suicide.
You are epic, for taking the time to write these out. Unless it was just copy and paste.
This song was famous when I was 18 years old, now I am 38 years old.. Almost 20 years already...
5:40 - That is what should bring us different generations closer as we are more the same yet just do not realise it until we are older and look backwards at our parents at our age in videos and have a 'WHOA' moment of clarity! The gap is minimal and superficial in generations over time. You will be 30, then 40, then 50 - when you are there - look backwards and then at the current generation in 2063 GenC and you will see them as different or you will heed your past and your parents past and noticed the 'tells' that there is so much that is the same it is uncanny!!! I kid you not!
Finally someone who reviewed p.o.d!
Still goosebumps
Great Reaction love the way you say " Rhythm" @2:28 LOL
i agree with you
a great christian band seen them live they were awesome
Hopefully someday soon ❤️
Powerman 5000: When Worlds Collide ...get ready for some "pump you up" music. you'll be ready to fight the world afterwards
Клип хорош. Ведущая прелесть! И всё у неё получится!❤
Love this reaction!! P.O.D. is one of my favorite bands of all time.
I recommend you a reaction to their songs "Going In Blind", "Execute The Sounds", "Sounds Like War", "Set It Off", "Freedom Fighters", "Wildfire", and "Roots In Stereo".
Happy you loved this ❤️
Great live music great music with a mining
Colter wall- the devil wears a suit and a tie definitely
Great reaction Bisscute!
thanks love them!!!!
This one hits home, I was 20 when it was released. I had it on my "suicide playlist". Thank you for your words ❤🤙
Great song, great reaction! In the future, if you can, react to their "Southtown" too
P.O.D uma das melhores bandas da nossa geração essa musica está entre as top 10 da minha play list. Essa musica é melancolica por isso toca no fundo do coração. Gosto muito um estilo único rap com un toque de rock.
❤❤❤. Demais
love thank for watching
i miss the old times :(
thanks sweety love them!!!!
Prophecy of destruction POD and they were a Christian band in the early 2000s
Just figured out the pic in the background!
When this song came out, i never knew anyone who took their own life. Now i knew two... 🥺💔
Song hits different.
I’ve seen POD multiple times, they are a “Christian” band, & have stated so live multiple times!
"This Mountain (Fouzia Cover) - Novia Bachmid" for next cutie.. 😊👍🏼
Regards from Indonesia 🇮🇩
I remember when this song came put…these guys were gen x….were the same age basically…we ALL feel the same, we experience the same emotion, no matter what generation, we experience them in different ways and situations….it speaks to all generations…
Such a good song. I would love it if you did more rap heavy nu metal music. For example: Limp Bizkit has a lot of great stuff, with a very varying sound on each album.
P.O.D - Alive is another great song!!!
The lead singer was entered to Hall of fame of Rock and Roll for text to this song. Some cities administrations cancelled their concerts because of too violent text .
I'd like to recommend The band Loathe. The song "Is it really you?" I think you'd dig it.
Somebody most likely alraeady told u but jic: the song is about the columbine highschool shooting (USA) that happened in 1999. If you hear the song carefully you can tell is from the POV from one of the kids who was shot that day. Its pretty rough. Also another fact Biss, P.O.D. means Payable on Death. †
Not heard for a long time...still a banger ❤
This song kind of goes along the same way that The Offsprings - The Kids Aren't Alright does.
They have some good songs and I'd say one of the better bands to come out of the nu metal genre.
Sidenote: Carhenge, an artistic replica of Stonehenge, appears in the video, behind a group of youngsters from my hometown of Alliance, Nebraska. You can also find videos at this location during the 2017 total solar eclipse, when thousands of people from around the world gathered to view it.
P.O.D 😍
Great reaction!! 🔥
