It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life
That's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same
And my highschool
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell
A penitentiary
My time spent there it only made me see
That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gunna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you
"Go to college
A university
Get a real job"
That's what they said to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gunna get by
And just do my time
Out of step while
They all get in line
I'm just a minor threat so pay no mind
Do you really wanna be like them?
Do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of their crowd?
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You
Don't wanna be you
Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, your playin' with yourself again
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Ya'll got to feel me, sing if you're with me
You
Don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Ya'll got to feel me, sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (whoa-oh)
Another loser antehm (whoa-oh)
Always see it on TV
Or read it in the magazines
Celebrities want sympathy
All they do is piss and moan
Inside the Rolling Stone
Talkin' about, how hard life can...be
I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the streets
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walkin' in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
They would fall (fall)
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
Their always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
Well they've got mansions
Think we should rob them
Well did you know if you were famous
You could kill your wife
And there's no such thing as 25 to life
As long as you've got the cash, to pay for Cochran
And did you know if you were caught
And you were smokin' crack
McDonalds would't even wanna take you back
You could always just run for major of D.C.
I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the streets
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walking in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
They would fall
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
Well they've got mansions
Think we should rob them
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
They've got so many problems
Think I could solve them
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
We'll take your clothes, cash, cars and homes
Just stop complainin'
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
I know a girl who's tough but sweet
She's so fine she can't be beat
She's got everything that I desire
She sets the summer sun on fire
I want candy! I want candy!
I want candy! I want candy!
Go to see her when the sun goes down
There aint no finer girl in town
You're my girl, what the doctor ordered
A drink so sweet, you make my mouth water
I want candy! I want candy!
I want candy! I want candy!
Candy on the beach there's nothing better
But I like candy when it's wrapped in leather
And someday soon I'll make you mine
And then I'll have candy all the time.
I want candy! I want candy!
I want candy! I want candy!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
If you leave, don't leave now
Please don't take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we'll go our separate ways
We always had time on our side
Now it's fading fast
Every second, every move
We've got to, We've gotta make it last
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I needed you now, like I needed you then
Always said we'd still be friends someday
If you leave, I won't cry
I won't waste a single day
But if you leave, no don't look back
I'll be running the other way
Seven years went under the bridge
Our time was standing still
Heaven knows what happens now you've gotta
You've gotta say you will
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I needed you now, like I needed you then
Always said we'd still be friends someday (someday)
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won't let go at any price
I needed you now, like I needed you then
You always said we'd still be friends someday
Oh, if you leave
Oh, if you leave
Oh, if you leave (oh tell me now you won't leave)
Oh, if you leave (oh tell me now you won't leave)
Please don't leave
Yeah, this song is dedicated to every kid who ever got picked last in gym class (yeah, 1999)
This is for you
To every kid who never got no date to no school dance (2000 eternal)
This is for you
To everyone who's ever been called a freak (come with meeeeee)
Here we go, here we go
What? (ya'll know what I'm talkin' about, ya'll know what I'm sayin')
Like the time in school when we got free lunch
And the cool kids beat us up (reduced lunch!)
And the rich kids had convertibles
And we had to ride the bus (fifty-five)
Like the time we made the baseball team
But they stilled laughed at us (we still suck)
Like the time that girl broke up with me
Cause I wasn't cool enough
TRICK!
Things...
The little things they always hang around
The little things they try to break me down
The little things they just won't go away
The little things made me who I am today
You wanna hate me now
But I won't stop now, cause I can't stop now
What?
Come on. Ungh
Here we go
Like the time mom went to that institute
Cuz she was always breaking down (I just can't take it)
Like the car we had that wouldn't start
We had to walk to get around (Can I get a ride?)
And that same year on Christmas Eve
Dad went to the store (uh, I'll see you guys later)
We checked his room, his things were gone
We didn't see him no more
DICK!
Things...
The little things they always hang around
The little things they try to break me down
The little things they just won't go away
The little things made me who I am today
You wanna hate me now
But I won't stop now, cause I can't stop now
It always seems those little things
They take the biggest part of me
And I know that those little things
They make the biggest part of me
Break down...
I'm breaking down
Break down
Gotta maintain
Educated
With money
He's well dressed
Not funny
And not to say in
Most conversations
But he'll foot the bill in
Most situations
Cause he pays for everything
Girls don't like boys, Girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when their not funny
Paper
Or plastic
Don't matter
She'll have it
Vacations
And shopping sprees
These are a few
Of her favorite things
She gets all she wants
If she's willing to please
His type of girl always comes with a fee
Hey now, there's nothing for free
Girls don't like boys, Girls like cars and money
Boys will laugh at girls when their not funny
And these girls like these boys
Like these boys like these girls
The girls with the bodies like boys with ferraris
Girls don't like boys, Girls like cars and money
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
All of these boys, yeah get all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world
This is about all of us, this is our song. Me and you.
Talk to me, and tell me
About you, and I'll try
To understand the things you've done
And the things you've been through, yeah.
These are words I've never heard
From anyone, but now I've sung
But that's okay cuz I've learned I like to be alone
[Bridge]
I tried to warn you
I tried to say I'd walk away
I tried to tell you
But no one seems to listen to me anyway
[Chorus]
Where do you go now
When you're seventeen years old?
You've got no one
You've got nothing
You've got nowhere to belong
That's right, that's me
Always guilty
I'm trying to fit in
Where I just don't get in
But that's okay cause we're all the same
We've done okay, we've got no name
And that's allright cause we've all learned
This is our song
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Where do I go now
Now that I'm twenty-one years old?
Still got no one
Still got nothing
Still got no where to belong
Some hard days, some hard nights
Twenty-one years still nothing's right
Some hard days, some hard nights
Twenty-one years still nothing's right
Nothing's right, nothing's right
Where do I go?
This is the story of my life
[Repeat x4]
Hard days made me
Hard nights shaped me
I don't know they somehow saved me
And I know I'm making something
Out of this life they call nothing
I take what I want, Take what I need
You say it'd wrong, but it's right for me
I won't look down
Won't say I'm sorry
I know that only god can judge me
[Chorus]
And if I make it through today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stumble and I fall
Should I get up and carry on
Will it all just be the same
Cause I'm young and I'm hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care
I don't care
No one in this industry
Understands the life I lead
When I sing about my past
It's not a gimmick, not an act
These critics and these trust fund kids
Try to tell me what punk is
But when I see them on the street
They got nothing to say
[Chorus]
Idon't care...and now I don't care
oooooooo oooooooo oooooooo
I'm young and I'm hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast that's what they say
That I'm troublesome, I've fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
