“21 Guns”. Green Day. Vídeo, letra e información.

Green Day es una banda de punk rock californiana integrada por Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool y Jason White, este último incorporado recientemente después de colaborar con la banda durante más de 10 años.

21 Guns es la decimosexta canción del disco 21st Century Breakdown (2009), distinguido con el premio Grammy al mejor álbum de rock, al igual que había sucedido con American Idiot (2004), el anterior trabajo de la banda. Se han realizado dos óperas rock de estos trabajos, lo que refrenda el éxito comercial del grupo. El vídeo que proponemos que veáis es la actuación de Green Day en la gala de los Grammy 2010, en la que interpretaron 21 Guns muy bien acompañados por los protagonistas de la ópera rock American Idiot y en una interpretación y sentido del american showbusiness muy difícil de igualar.

Do you know what’s worth fighting for,
When it’s not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

When you’re at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And you’re thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn’t pass
Nothing’s ever built to last
you’re in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I

Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone

When it’s time to live and let die
And you can’t get another try
Something side this heart has died
You’re in ruins

One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky,
You and I
