21 Guns(21响礼炮) by Green Day
Green Day乐队在1994年涅磐王朝崩塌之后，朋克音乐复兴与另类流行摇滚乐当道的时候，一跃成为了这股风潮的中流砥柱，成为了90年代以后最受欢迎的摇滚乐队之一，也是美国流行乐朋克复兴中最有影响的乐队之一。
歌曲21 Guns阐明了反战主题。同时安慰了对曾经信任过布什政府如今失望透顶的美国群众。这同时还是Green Day为《变形金刚2》助阵的插曲，每当到戏中男女主角感情戏时，这首旋律优美的歌曲就会响起。 同时，这首歌也出现在美剧《吸血鬼日记》第一季第七集结尾，41分40秒播放的非常优美的插曲。
小知识：
21响礼炮：最早源自海军军舰访问友好国家的港口时，军舰会舷炮齐发表明船上的炮桶已经放空以示友好和和平。从1730年开始，英国皇家海军决定以21响礼炮作为向王室致敬的礼仪。
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 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
