Green Day - 21 Guns /Listening Practice

                             
  DO YOU KNOW WHAT’S WORTH FIGHTING FOR,
WHEN ITS NOT WORTH  ____________  FOR?
DOES IT TAKE YOUR ____________AWAY
AND YOU FEEL YOURSELF SUFFOCATING?
DOES THE  ____________ WEIGH OUT THE  ____________ ?
AND YOU LOOK FOR A  ____________  TO HIDE?
DID SOMEONE BREAK YOUR  ____________  INSIDE?
YOU'RE IN  ____________  

ONE, 21 GUNS
LAY DOWN YOUR  ____________  
GIVE UP THE  ____________  
ONE, 21  GUNS
THROW UP YOUR ARMS INTO THE  ____________  ,
YOU AND I

WHEN YOU'RE AT THE END OF THE  ____________  
AND YOU LOST ALL SENSE OF  ____________  
AND YOUR THOUGHTS HAVE TAKEN THEIR TOLL
WHEN YOUR MIND BREAKS THE SPIRIT OF YOUR  ____________  
YOUR FAITH WALKS ON BROKEN  ____________  
AND THE HANGOVER DOESN'T PASS
NOTHING iS EVER BUILT TO LAST
YOU’RE IN  ____________  

ONE, 21  GUNS
LAY DOWN YOUR ____________  
GIVE UP THE  ____________  
ONE, 21  GUNS
THROW UP YOUR ARMS INTO THE  ____________  ,
YOU AND I

DID YOU TRY TO ____________  ON YOUR OWN
WHEN YOU BURNED DOWN THE HOUSE AND HOME?
DID YOU STAND TOO CLOSE TO THE ___________  ?
LIKE A LIAR LOOKING FOR FORGIVENESS FROM A  ____________  
WHEN IT'S TIME TO  ____________  AND LET DIE
AND YOU CAN'T GET ANOTHER TRY
SOMETHING INSIDE THIS  ____________  HAS DIED
YOURE IN  ____________  

ONE, 21 GUNS
LAY DOWN YOUR ARMS
GIVE UP THE  ____________  
ONE, 21 GUNS
THROW UP YOUR ARMS INTO THE  ____________  ,
YOU AND I

Listening to music is one of the best ways to learn a language. This is my first suggestion, one o my favourite songs. 
  •  Do you like Green Day? 
  •  What is this song about? 
  •  What are the missing words? 
  • Use the dictionary to look for all the words you don't know 
  • If you are a teacher, which songs do you usually play in class?
For teachers and students 

Escuchar canciones es una de las mejores maneras de aprender un idioma. Aquí te dejo una de mis favoritas. ¿qué palabras faltan? ¿qué otras canciones has escuchado en inglés para aprender? Si eres profesor/a, maestro/a ¿qué canciones pones a los alumnos? Espero vuestros comentarios!

  4. Ah, and for listening I think that Warning (Green Day of course) is a good song to do this because it has a lot of "strange" words. Melis ask us to do this listening three weeks ago

  6. I'd comment about the missings words, but rubén has commented before jaajjaja you're a great fan, so I'm to talk about the mean of the song: I think that the song talk about the feel when you lose someone who you love. It's a little strange to understand :)

  7. That's a good interpretation. I think it's about the loss of your beloved ones and the pain you suffer when you lose someone. It is also an anti-war song! Maybe Rubén has his own ideas.

    Belén, you can try "The Reason", by Hoobastank. Every time I play it in class, it's a success. Most of my students -both boys and girls- say that it is a really nice song and they even want to sing!

    Listen songs in English is very well to learn english. I listen other bands and other kind of music to learn english. For example Oasis (wonderwall), The beatles and many others.

    I like all kinds of music!
