The Anthem
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 high school
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 gonna 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 say to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna 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, you're playing 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
Y'all 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
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous
Always see it on TV, i read it in the magazines
Celebrities who want sympathy
All they do is piss and moan
Inside the Rollin Stone
Talkin about how hard life can be
I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
They could spend a day or two
Walking in someone elses 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 got mansions
Think we should rob them
Did you know when you are famous
You could kill your wife
And there's no such thing as 25-to-Life
As long as you got the cash to pay for kokrin
Did you know if you were caught and you were smokin' crack
Mcdonals wouldnt even wanna take ya back
You could always run for mayor of D.C.
I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
They could spend a day or two
Walking in someone elses 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 got mansions
Think we should rob them
LLifestyles of the rich and the famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
we got so many problems
think i could solve them
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous
we'll take the clothes, cash, cars and homes just stop complanin

Lifestyles of the rich and the famous (3x)

Bloody Valentine
Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life

I ripped out
His throat
And called you on the telephone
To take off
My disguise
Just in time to hear you cry when you...

You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time

Singin'...

Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight

There was
Police and
Flashing lights
The rain came down so hard that night and the
Headlines read
A lover died
No tell-tale heart was left to find when you...

You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time

Singin'...

Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight

Tonight

He dropped you off, I followed him home
Then I, I stood outside his bedroom window
Standing over him, he begged me not to do
What I knew I had to do cause I'm so in love with you

Oh, my love
Please don't cry
I'll wash my bloody hands and
We'll start a new life
I don't know much at all
I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that I love you tonight
Tonight
Hold On
This world
This world is cold
But you don't
You don't have to go
You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely, and no one seems to care
You're mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know

Your days
You say they're way too long
And your nights
You can't sleep at all
Hold on
And you're not sure what you're waiting for, but you don't want to no more
And you're not sure what you're looking for, but you don't want to no more

But we all bleed the same way as you do
And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on

What are you looking for?
What are you waiting for?
Do you know what you're doing to me?
Go ahead...What are you waiting for?

Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Don't stop looking, you're one step closer
Don't stop searching, it's not over
Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know
Hold on

Say Anything
Here I am on
The phone again, and
Awkward silence is
On the other end
I used to know the sound
Of a smile in your voice
But right now (right now)
All I feel (All I feel)
Is the pain of the fighting
Starting up again

All the things we talk about
You know they stay on my mind
On my mind
And all the things we laugh about
They'll bring us through it every time
After time after time

Don't say a word
I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away
I know you wanna stay
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything

Some say that
Time changes
Best friends can
Become strangers
But I don't want that
No, not for you
If you just stay with me, we can make it through
Here we are again
The same old argument
And I'm wonderin'
If things'll ever change, yeah
When will you laugh again?
Laugh like you did back when?
We'd make noise til 3 AM and the neighbors would complain

All the things we talk about
You know they stay on my mind
On my mind
And all the things we laugh about
They'll bring us through it every time
After time after time

Don't say a word
I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away
I know you wanna stay
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything

I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' down
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' down
Down
Down
Down

Don't say a word
I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away
I know you wanna stay
If you'll just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything

Don't say a word (Please don't leave)
I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away (Please don't leave)
I know you wanna stay
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
The Day That I Die
One day I woke up
I woke knowing
Today is the day
I will die

Cats dogs were barking
Went to the park and enjoyed it one last time
I called my mother, told her I loved her
And I begged her not to cry

I wrote a letter
I said I�d miss her
And I signed that Goodbye

Chorus:
You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die)
It�s thin air but that�s alright (the day that I die)
The darkness falls, I�m letting go (the day that I die)
All alone but I feel fine (the day that I die)

We took a drive and we drove to D.C.
To see the places we knew
Our conversations we talked of old friends
And all the things that we did

Summer nights
Drunken fights
The stakes we made
Did we live it right

Chorus:
You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die)
It�s thin air but that�s alright (the day that I die)
The darkness falls, I�m letting go (the day that I die)
All alone but I feel just fine (the day that I die)

Chorus:
You know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
I know the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
Can you feel the cold tonight (the day that I die)
It�s thin air but that�s alright (the day that I die)
The darkness falls, I�ll let it go (the day that I die)
All alone but I feel fine (the day that I die)

Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right (the day that I die)
Did I live it right, I know I lived it right (the day that I die)
Did I live it right, I hope I lived it right (the day that I die)
The Young and the Hopeless
Hard days make me hard nights shape me
I dunno this song might save me
And I know I'm making something
Out of this life they call nothing
I take what I want, take what i need
They say its wrong but its right for me
I won't look down won't say I'm sorry
I know that only god can judge me

And if I make it threw today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stubble 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
Im lost and i know this
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say
Im troublesome im fallin
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and i don't care
I don't care

And no one in this industry
Understands the life I lead
When I sing about my past
Its not a gimick not an act
This critics and these trust fund kids
Try to tell me what punk is
But when I see them on the streets
They got nothin to say

And if I make it threw today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stubble 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
Im lost and i know this
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say
Im troublesome im fallin
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and i don't care
i don't care

Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless
Im lost and i know this
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say
Im troublesome im fallin
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and i don't care
i don't care
Emotionaless
Hey dad.
I'm writing to you.
Not to tell you, that I still hate you
Just to ask you how you feel
And how we fell apart
How this fell apart
Are you happy out there in this great wide world?
Do you think about your sons?
Do you miss your little girl?
When you lay your head down, how do you sleep at night?
Do you even wonder if we're all right?
If we're all right.
We're all right.

It's been a long hard road without you by my side.
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried?
You broke my mother's heart you broke your children for life.
It's not ok, but we're all right.
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
Or was it just a long lost memory of mine?
I spent so many years learning how to survive.
Now I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive.

The days I spent so cold, so hungry
Were full of hate, I was so angry
The scars run deep inside this tattooed body
There's things I'll take into my grave.
But I'm ok
I'm ok.

It's been a long hard road without you by my side.
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried?
You broke my mother's heart you broke your children for life.
It's not ok, but we're all right.
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
Or was it just a long lost memory of mine?
I spent so many years learning how to survive.
Now I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive.

Sometimes I forget
Yeah and then this time I'll admit
That I miss you, I said I miss you.

It's been a long hard road without you by my side.
Why weren't you there all the nights that we cried?
You broke my mother's heart you broke your children for life.
It's not ok, but we're all right.
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
Or was it just a long lost memory of mine?
I spent so many years learning how to survive.
Now I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive.

And sometimes, I forgive.
And this time, I'll admit,
That I miss you.
I miss you.
Hey dad.
Moving On
When I think about my life
I wonder if I will survive
To live to see in 25 or will I just fall?
I call my friends, they just keep dying.
People round me, always crying.
In this place I like to call my home.

Not everyone knows, but everybody goes to a better place.
Not everybody knows that everyone could be living their last days
But the hard times will come, and we'll keep moving on.
We're moving on.
Keep moving on.

Life.
Hope.
Truth.
Trust.
Faith.
Pride.
Love.
Lust.
All make up the things we've lost but things we've gained we'll take with us.

And I'm so proud of these two hands
To make myself a better man
I wonder if I'll ever see the end of this.
With all this rain it just keeps fallin
On my head and now I'm calling
Out to someone else to help me
Make it through.

Not everyone knows, but everybody goes to a better place.
Not everyone knows that everybody could be living their last days
But the hard times will come, and we'll keep moving on.
We're moving on.
Keep moving on.

Life.
Hope.
Truth.
Trust.
Faith.
Pride.
Love.
Lust.
Pain.
Hate.
Lies.
Kill.
Laugh.
Cry.
Live.
Die.
Some friends become enemies some friends become your family.
Make the best with what you're given
This ain't dyin, this is livin.

Said we're movin on
And we got nothing to prove
To anyone
Cause we'll get through
We're movin on and on and on and on (etc)

Life.
Hope.
Truth.
Trust.
Faith.
Pride.
Love.
Lust.
Pain.
Hate.
Lies.
Kill.
Laugh.
Cry.
Live.
Die.
Some friends become enemies some friends become your family.
Make the best with what you're given
This ain't dyin, this is livin.
