(Ruduced Lunch)
And the rich kids had convertibles and we had to ride the bus

(You still suck)
Like the time that girl broke up with me �cuz i wasn�t cool enough
Trick

We checked his room his things were gone we didn�t see him no more

And i know that those little things they make the biggest part of me break down
I�m breaking down
Break down
(Good Charlotte 1999)
Gotta maintain
(2000 eternal)
I wanna hot girl and a little bit of money
I wanna a little house where my band can live
Cause we're tired of moving every other weekend
I wanna go to parties where they got no guns
I wanna rock with my band, I wanna have a little fun
Where thugs and punks and any other type
Can sing this song and up sing it all night
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everythin's gonna be alright
Everything will be alright, alright
All I wanna do is kick the welfare
All I wanna do is get my share
And I don't wanna run for the president
I just want an honest way to pay my rent
And I'm tired of the man always shuttin us down
Tired of my old man cause he's never around
And I'm tired of eating off of other people's plates
And I don't look important so they're telling me to wait
Police records said they wouldn't exist
I wanna know the meaning of a Christmas list
Said all I wanna do is kick the welfare
All I wanna do is get my share
All I wanna do is make somethin from nothin
It's GC baby and we're workin with somethin
We'll be self-made millionares
These lives we'll lead without a care, oh yeah
And we'll see what we'll be
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everybody say ah yeah that's right
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everybody say it one more time
Everything will be alright, alright
We'll see you when we get there
We'll see you when we get there
On the video
Or the radio
In the magazines
On the movie screens
Days inside my head.
You're so selfish, you're not the only
One who thinks he's dead.
I'm paid to smile, now I'm on trial
For what you think I said.
Cuz I never said that everything would be okay,
And I never said that we would live to see another day.
CHORUS
Motivate me
I wanna get myself outta this bed.
Captivate me
I want good thoughts inside of my head.
When I fall down would you come around
Pick me right up off the ground?
I'm un-artistic, un-realistic
You say I'm selfish and absurd.
You try to change me,
You try to save me,
You say I'm gonna learn.
I'm so blind, I'm out of time,
You're so unkind sometimes.
I never lied, I never lied, I never lied....
Cuz I never said that everything would be ok,
I never said that we would live to see another day...
CHORUS
You say what's the problem, what's with this angry kid?
You don't like the way I walk, or the way I talk, or the way I swing my hands
You don't like the words I speak or the thoughts I think
And I know you'll never understand
You know-on the East Coast we ride until we die
You know, oh oh oh
Well there's a place inside my mind, yeah a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind we'll leave today
You know
Wouldn't it be perfect, if I could sit with you?
And we would change a thing or two, we'd change a thing or two
We would change the way you think, we would change the way I think
We can't change the way they think so we're not changin anything
Chorus
On the East Coast we ride, until the day we die
Chorus
I used to but I'm fed up,
And I can hear the words you say
I wish that you would shut up
I've got responsibility
That is my liability
A menace to society
At least that's what they say to me
[chorus]
But tonight, tonight, it's on tonight
I don't want your boring life
And I don't want your 9 to 5,
Or anyone to tell me how to live my life
[chorus]
People always tell me not to waste my time
To get a real job and get back in line
You can say I'll never be a millionaire
Tell me this guitar won't get me anywhere
I've got responsibility
that is my liability
I'm questioning authority
They say there's not a chance for me
[repeat chorus]
Your future's no future
Your future's no future
Your future's no future
I control my future
[repeat chorus x2]
I'm leavin' [x4]
Tonight !
Still it seems as if you're not there (are you there?)
Everytime I talk, you turn away (do you care?)
Isn't dad an obligation to care?
And we've been here, for so many years
So many years still it seems...so complicated (yeah)
Overrated (alright)
Complicated...well this feeling is love
Well I came in the door, yeah I said it before
I never let the stress get me down no more
Giving thanks to the Lord you know I pray everyday
Giving shots to my peeps, and this is what we said
Chorus
You left us one little room with a black and white TV
One eviction notice and a bill for therapy
You're living all alone you're like a dog without a bone
You're living all alone because you left us all at home
Well you had a second chance but you threw it all away
A fourth and fifth and sixth, but that was yesterday
Now you're sitting at a bar just drowning in your tears
Lonely in the corner while everybody cheers
Chorus
Six dollars in your pocket one's a secret stash,
Three's for alcohol and two's for cigarettes
All the feelings of your love
And what it was like
When we were together
Walking all along the beach
You were never far from my reach
And you held me
Through the stormy weather
And I wanna fall in love
Tonight
And I remember when you said
Everything's gonna be alright
Laying in the summer grass
You told me not to talk so fast
As I told you
How I feel
You made me feel right at home
You told me I was not alone
And you knew
Just how I feel
I know we talked about it
I just can't get around
I just want one more night with you
I wanna fall in love
Tonight
And I remember when you said
Everything's gonna be alright
October air reminds me of
All the seasons of your love
And what it was like
When we were together
The smell of fall is everywhere
And though it seems I just don't care
'Cause now you've gone away
I wanna fall in love
Tonight
And I remember when you said
Everything's gonna be alright
Alright
I wanna fall in love
I wanna fall in love
Tonight
You're messin with my head
[You're messin with my head]
And I don't why I'll stay
I should leave instead
[I should leave instead]
When I speak from my heart
You laugh like it's a game
[Well this ain't no game]
Yeah, we make great friends
But it just isn't the same
Ohhhhh
And I know
This is not the way to be
And I know you treat him like me
[Badoobie-doobie-doobie-doo]
But I don't wanna stop
[CHORUS]
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
And I don't need you to buy me pretty things
[You don't pay for me]
Pay for my tatoos or buy me diamond rings
[I don't want those things]
All I know is that I'm happy to smile
[I wanna see you smile]
And it'd make my day if you'd just stay for a while
[CHORUS]
And I know
This is not the way to be
And I know you treat him like me
[Badoobie-doobie-doobie-doo]
But I don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I never wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
Don't wanna stop
I never wanna stop
You said I could tell in the way, you said goodbye
I saw you sitting at your t-shirt stand with your new boyfriend
He's really cool...I get the point!
I don't want you, I don't want you, I heard you, I heard you
I heard you say "not a chance, what don't you see"
I don't want you, I don't want you, I heard you, I heard you
I heard you say "you're not good enough for me"
Today I screwed up again
I wasn't paying attention
I walked into the wall again, I heard you laugh and saw you grin
While you were sitting at your t-shirt stand with all your cool friends
They're really cool...I get the point!
Chorus
Today I'll give it one last try
And then I know I'll wonder why
I did it to myself once again
I saw your boyfriend he's 6-3, quarterback on Varsity
The football players love to torture me
So I'm feeling like I'm not fitting in, I know that I'm not fitting in with you
And your stuck-up friends...I get the point!
Chorus
Yeah
She walks down to the store at 8
The devil walks with her and he thinks she's great
When she looks at me I don't know what I saw
I think He's trying to make me his son-in-law
Well she walked by, walk by, walk by, walked on by
Walk by, walk by, walk by, walked on by
Eagles fly when she walks by
She caught my eye one october night
22 days before Halloween
How did I know she'd be my evil queen
Well she walked by, walked by, walked by, walked on by
Walked by, walked by, walked by, she walked on by
My mother warned me against girls like you
She said stay away from them son you know they're not true
All they're gonna do is put you under a spell
Tell me when you're falling down you're going straight to hell
Well she walked by, walked by, walked by, walked on by
Walked by, walked by, walked by, gonna walk on by
My mother warned me against girls like you
She said stay away from them son you know they're not true
All they're gonna do is put you under a spell
She told me when you're falling down you're going straight to hell
Walked by, walked by, walked by, walked on by
Walked by, walked by, walked by, I'm gonna walk on by
Walk on by, walk on by, walk on by, walk on by
I wasted all my time and you were there with me
Back then it meant so much to have you by my side
I always had your back and you always had mine
Sayin...let me go, have some fun
Well my decision sucks to you, but I'm so young
We'd hang out late at night, just trying to have fun
We were such punk ass kids but we knew everyone
And who could see through such blazed up bloodshot eyes
There was a plan for us one day we'd realize
Chorus
It's like no one understand and I'm left with empty hands forever
I can't speak
So many things I'll never learn
You can't cross bridges that you've burned
Why is life such an issue when you're mine, why are the answers to my problems hard to find
So hard to find
Don't forget to buckle when you fall beneath the pressure of the seconds when your life became a screamer
Staring at the sea things become so small
I want movies of my dreams and pictures on my wall
Chorus
You say that I'm a dreamer, I saw you're a non-believer
Take out the light, take out the light and start screamin
I'm dreamin, I'm a dreamer, no one believes me, and you don't either
Tell me what to dooooo
Take out the light, take out the light
Take out the light and start screamin
Take out the light, take out the light
Take out the light and start screamin
Think you lost yourself too.
Throughout all of this confusion,
I hope I somehow get to you.
I practiced all the things I'd say,
To tell you how I feel,
And when I finally get my chance,
It all seems so surreal.
Cuz from the first time I saw you,
I only thought about you,
I didn't know you,
I wanted to hold onto
The things you'd never say to me.
Cuz you said:
CHORUS
You can't change the way you feel.
*I could never do that, I could never do that*
But you can't tell me this ain't real
Cuz this is rea.
*And you would see right through that*
And in the end it's all I've got
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on and on....
Now you've got me watchin' your eyes
*Watchin' just to see, watchin' just to see*
Got me waitin' just to see
*If you ever look at me*
If it goes the way it never will,
*When will it go, will it ever go my way?*
Your eyes are watchin' me.
And now you've got me thinkin' bout
The first time that I met you.
Standin' in a crowded room,
But I could only see you,
And I hope my words will get through
Cuz now I can't forget you.
I wanna tell you,
If only I could reach you,
And make you feel this way.
But you said:
CHORUS
My memory, is clear as day
I'm listening to the dishes clink, you were downstairs, you would sing
Songs of praise
And all the times we laughed with you, and all the times that you stayed true to us
Now we say...
I said I thank you, I'll always thank you
More than you could know, than I could ever show
And I love you, I'll always love you
There's nothing I won't do, to say these words to you
That you're beautiful forever
You were my mom, you were my dad, the only thing I ever had was you, it's true
And even when the times got hard, you were there to let us know...that we'd get through
You showed me how to be a man, you taught me how to understand the things, people do
You showed me how to love my God, you taught me that not everyone knows the truth
And I thank you, I'll always thank you
More than you could know, than I could ever show
And I love you, I'll always love you
There's nothing I won't do, to say these words to you
That you will live forever
Always, always and forever
You people talk but u don�t even know me
And that�s alright cuz I get down wit GC
So I walk on and listen to their CD
Some people laugh they do it just to spite me
Behind my back but they don�t know what I see
But I don�t care what they say i don�t need them anyway
I'll just go about my day but anyway
U go out on Friday night I�ll stay in but that's alright
Cuz I have found a clique to call my own
In crowd out crowd I don�t care
Your crowd my crowd we can share
Cuz I have found a clique to call my own
Let�s go!
So come talk to me
On my computer screen
The best of our lives aren�t easy as they seem
But one day we'll look back and then we'll have to laugh
They used to call us names
Now they want our autograph
To get the girl to make the grade its all a show it�s all a game
And I would lose it if I played its all the same so..
Well I don�t care what they say I don�t need them anyway
I�ll just go about my day
But anyway
U go out on Friday night I�ll stay in but that�s alright
Cuz I have found a clique to call my own
In crowd out crowd I don�t care
Your crowd my crowd we can share
Cuz I have found a clique to call my own
She said she'd call
But I know she wont she wont
She won�t....
You go out on Friday night I�ll stay in but that�s alright
Cuz I have found a clique to call my own
In crowd out crowd I don�t care
Your crowd my crowd we can share
Cuz I have found a clique to call my own
I don�t care what u say I don�t need u anyway
I�ll just go about my day but anyway...
I don�t care what u say I don�t need u anyway
I�ll just go about my day but anyway...
