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 your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/green_day/21_guns.html ]
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 inside 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
O come on, this is such a meaningful song. What it means to me is, it reminds me of soldiers going to war.. At first they feel like they're fightin for sumthin meaningful, freedom, faith, peace or sumthin. But the more they fight, the more it seems like a violent, pointless battle. The deaths of so many innocents, the sufferings of mothers, fathers, wives, children... N they see their brothers in arms dying.. They no longer know what they are fighting for; would sumthing that causes so much destruction be for the greater good? They've lost their faith, their beliefs, n ultimately, a part of their soul.. So its time we stopped fighting fire with fire, time to lay down arms, n join hands instaed!
To me, this song means that you have to know when it's time to quit and pride hurts. But to me, it also is honoring our troops in iraq. Me and friend love this song to death. We honestly beleive in the meaning of this song. ~green day

This song is clearly about soldiers, battle, and how war isn't as amazing and honorable as the books and movies make it seem. It reminds me of the book "all quiet on the western front".
