Song Notes
21st Century Breakdown is like the way American culture is right now, where a different week is a different crisis depending on where you're getting your news from, but there's also this feeling of hope that goes throughout the record. Life, I guess. And it ends up with this song.

Lyrics
Well I crossed the river
Fell into the sea
Where the non-believers go beyond belief
Then I scratched the surface
In the mouth of hell
Running out of service in the blood I fell
Well I, I just want to see the light
And I, I don't want to lose my sight
Well I, I just want to see the light
And I need to know what's worth the fight
Well I've been wasted
Pills and alcohol
And I've been chasing
Down the pool halls
Then I drank the water from a hurricane
And I set a fire just to see the flame
Well I, I just want to see the light
And I, I don't want to lose my sight
Well I, I just want to see the light
And I need to know what's worth the fight
Well I crossed the desert
Reaching higher ground
Then I pound the pavement to take the liars down
But it's gone forever, but never too late
Where the ever after is in the hands of fate
Well I, I just want to see the light
And I, I don't want to lose my sight
Well I, I just want to see the light
And I need to know what's worth the fight
