We left our homes, went to cities
Grass was greener, skies were pretty
Dreams were baking, money low
Didn’t matter, we’d still go

Broke some hearts, and got ours broken
Built a fortune, had it taken
Lifted up high, in the clouds
Almost died, went crashing down

What doesn’t kill you makes you humble
No one can be forever young, no
I'll throw my middle one up in the air
Cause fuck it, I'm doing the best that I can here

21st century kids
I'm a little reckless and I skin my knees
Dreamt to find something that I believe
Cause I just want to break free
I want to break free

21st century kids
I'm a little reckless and I skin my knees
Dreamt to find something that I believe
Cause I just want to break free
I want to break free

We left our homes, went to cities
Lights were brighter, streets were gritty
Steaks were high and chances low
It didn’t matter, I would still go

Traded gold for all that glitters
Found a God while in the gutter
And only thanks to my fake friends
I know which ones are till the end

What doesn’t kill you makes you humble
No one can be forever young, no
I'll throw my middle one up in the air
Cause fuck it, I'm doing the best that I can here

21st century kids
I'm a little reckless and I skin my knees
Dreamt to find something that I believe
I just want to break free
I want to break free

21st century kids
I'm a little reckless and I skin my knees
Dreamt to find something that I believe
I just want to break free
I want to break free
