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
