This is a title song from Green Day's Album : 21st Century Breakdown...  I have 
listened this song many times and I think this is accurate but  I am not 100% sure....

Part 2: G chord

G			C
We are the cries of the class of '13

We are the desperate in the decline

Raised by the bastards of 1969

My name is 'No one' your long lost son
Born on the 4th of July

Raised in the barnyards of heroes and cons
Left me for dead or alive

There is a war that's inside my head
That questions the results and lies
         C		                 F    G      C
I'm breaking my back till I'm better off dead
We are not payed enough to survive
C	               F      G    G
I am an engine, a worker, a pawn
My debt to the status quo
C			   F    G      C
The scars on my hands and a means to an end
It's all that I have to show
C		     F   G  C
I'm taking a loan on my sa  ni  ty
For the redemption of my soul
C		          F   G   C
WelI am exempt from this tra  ge  dy
And the 21st century fall
    F         G   C        F	                  G   C
I praise liber  ty, the freedom to o  bey

Well don't cross the line

From rainstorms till dawn
