We took a drive and�
You know the happiest day of my life
Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I die)

Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I die)
Did I live it right?
Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless
And no one in this industry
And if I make it threw today
Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless
Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless
but we�re all right
it�s been a long hard road without you by my side
the days I spent so cold, so hungry
it�s been a long hard road without you by my side
sometimes�
it�s been a long hard road without you by my side
and sometimes
Life.
And I'm so proud of these two hands
Not everyone knows, but everybody goes to a better place.

It's a good life,
That's what I'm told

And my high school
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell,
A penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see
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
Don't wanna be just like you

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 another trend?
Do you wanna be part of their crowd?
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be
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 twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again
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)

Always see it on TV
or read it in the magazines
celebrities who want sympathy
all they do is piss and moan, inside the rolling stone
talking about how hard life can be
I'd like to see them spend a week
living life out on the street
I dont think they would survive
if they could spend a day or two while being 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
they�re always complaining, always complaining
if money is such a problem, well they got mansions
think we should rob them
and theres no such thing as 25 to life
as long as you�ve got the cash to pay for Cochren
and did you know if you were caught and you were smoking crack
McDonalds wouldn�t even want to take it back
you could always just run for mayor of D.C.
I�d like to see them spend a week
living life out on the street
I don�t think they would survive
if they could spend a day or two
of being in someone else�s shoes
I think they�d stumble and they�d fall
they would fall
they�re always complaining
always complaining
if money is such a problem
well they got mansions
think we should rob them
(rob them)
lifestyles of the rich and the famous
they�re always complainin
always complainin
if money is such a problem
you got so many problems
think I could solve them
lifestyles of the rich and famous
we�ll take your clothes, cash cards, and homes just stop complainin
lifestyles of the rich and famous (4x)

I don�t know too much about
Too much of my old man
I know he walked right out the door
And we never saw him again
Last I heard he was at the bar
Doing himself in
I know I�ve got that same disease
I guess I got that from him
Just like his father before him
I�m telling you do anything you can
So you don�t end up just like them
Like them
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday through Saturday lost everything
Woke up on Sunday miserable again
And working on the car
Told me that he loved
And that I would go far
Showed me how to work hard
And stick up for myself
I wish it wasn�t too hard
To listen to himself
Just like his brother before him
I�m telling you do anything you can
So you don�t end up just like them
Like them
Drank until Wednesday and left his wife
Thursday through Saturday lost everything
Woke up on Sunday miserable again
Again
Again
Made things right
long for his family and Miss his wife
Miss his wife
Remembered the days he had everything
now hes alone and Miserable again

educated
with money
he's well dressed
not funny
and not much 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 they�re not funny
don�t matter she�ll have it
vacations and shopping sprees
these are a few of her favorite things
shell get what 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 like cars and money
boys will laugh at girls when they�re not funny
and these girls like these boys
like these boys like these girls
the girls with the bodies like the boys with Ferraris
girls don�t like boys
girls like cars and money
(lets go)
girls like cars and money
boys will laugh at girls when they�re not funny

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

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
and your nights, you cant sleep at all
hold on
and your not sure what your looking for but you don�t want to know more
and we all have the same things to go through
hold on it gets better than you know

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

One day I woke up
I woke up knowing
Today is the day I will die
Cashdogg was barking
Went to the park
And enjoyed that one last time
I called my mother
Told her I loved her
I begged her not to cry
I wrote her a letter
I said I'd miss her
And signed that goodbye
you know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I die
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die)
All alone, but I feel fine (the day that I die)
We drove through DC
To see the places we lived
Our conversations
We talked of old friends
And all the things that we did
Summer nights
Drunken fights
mistakes we made
Did we live it right?
I swear the happiest day of my life
Is the day that I died
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I die)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die)
All alone but I feel just fine (the day that I die)
I swear the happiest day of my life
I know the happiest day of my life, is the day that I died
It sets, but it's alright (the day that I die)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I die)
All alone, but I feel fine (the day that I die)
I hope I lived it right
Did I live it right?
I know I lived it right
Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right
Did I live it right?

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
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
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
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
Im lost and i know this
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say

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?
we�re all right
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
but those were 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 that I�m still alive
were full of hate
I was so angry
those scars run deep inside this tattooed body
there�s things I�ll take, to my grave
but I�m okay
I�m okay
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
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I�m writing just to let you know that I�m still alive
yeah, I�m still alive
I forget
yeah and this time
I�ll admit
that I miss you, said I miss you
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
but those were just a long lost memory of mine
Now, I�m writing just to let you know that were still alive

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.
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.
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 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.
Hope.
Truth.
Trust.

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 tellin' 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',
These lives we'll lead without a care, oh yeah,
And we'll see what we'll be
Everything's gonna be alright now,

Everything will be alright, alright,
We'll see you when we get there, We'll see you when we get there,

Spend your lazy, endless crazy 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
'Cause I never said that everything would be ok,
And I never said that we would live to see another day
Motivate me, I wanna get myself out of this bed,
Captivate me, I want good thoughts inside of my head,
If I fall down would you come around and pick me right up off the ground
(Chorus Ends)
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...
You know we're gonna live to see another day,
Yeah...yeah...
Motivate me...yeah,
Motivate me...yeah

Walking on the streets of D.C.,
On the eastcoast where I live, 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 understand
You know
On the eastcoast, we ride until we die
You know,
Well there's a place inside my mind,
Yeah a place you'll never find,
There's a place inside my mind,
Walk this way
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
(Chorus Ends)
And we would change a thing or two, we would 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
[Back to the Top]
I don't care about a thing,
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,
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
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
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
Your future's no future,
Your future's no future,
I control,
my future
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

One time
Two times
Alright,
here we go
Two times
One time for your mind
your body and your soul
everytime that i rhyme
you knowe i'm in control
Alright
here we go
here we go
here we go
Still it seems as if you're not there (are you there)
Every time I talk, you turn away (do you care),
Isn't Dad an obligation to care
(Chorus)-
And we've been here for so many years,
So many years still it seems,
So complicated, overrated, complicated,
This feeling is low
(Chorus Ends)
I never let the stress get me down no more
Giving thanks to the Lord, and I pray every day,
Giving shots to my peeps and this is what we said,
You got your one single bed,
and you dont wanna see,
You're living all alone you're like a dog without a bone,
You're living all alone 'cause 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 a drowning in your tears,
Lonely in your corner while everybody cheers,
one for secret stash
three's for alchohol
and two for ciggarettes
All right

Summer air reminds me of 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,
(Chorus)-
And I want to fall in love tonight,
And I remember when you said "everything's gonna be alright"
(Chorus Ends)
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 just want one more night with you,
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,
All these games you play, they're messin' with my head,
(messin with my head)
I don't know why I stay, I should leave instead
(I should leave instead)
When I speak from my heart, you laugh like it's a game
(this ain't no game)
Yeah we'd make great friends, but it just isn't the same...
And I know this is not the way it should be,
And I know you treat him like me,
(be do be do be do be do)
But I don't wanna stop, I don't wanna stop, I don't wanna stop (etc.)
(Chorus Ends)
(you don't pay for me),
Pay for my tattoos or buy me diamond rings
(we don't want those things),
All I know is that I'm happy to see you smile
(i want to see you smile),
And it'd make my day if you'd just stay here awhile
(stay with me),

Today I screwed up again,
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
(Chorus)-
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
(Chorus Ends)
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)(Chorus Ends)
Today I'll give it one last try,
And then 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

She walks down to the store at eight,
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 tryin' to make me his son in law
When she,
Walks by, walks by, walks by, she walks on by
(Chorus Ends)
Eagles fly when she walks by,
She caught my eye on October 9th,
22 days before Halloween,
How did I know she'd be my evil queen,
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
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 fallin' down, you're going straight to hell
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
[Back to the Top]
Down in the streets outside of Washington, D.C.,
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, yeah
But I'm so young
(Chorus Ends)
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,
When I speak, It's like no one understands 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 in your mind,
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 becomes a screamer,
Staring at the sea, things become so small,
I want movies of my life, and pictures on my wall,
Pictures on my wall,
(Chorus)-
You say that I'm a dreamer,
I say you're a non believer,
Take out the light, take out the light, Start screamin',
I'm dreaming, I'm a dreamer, no one believes me,
And you don't either, So tell me what to do
Take out the light, Take out the light,
Take out the light start screamin'
(Chorus Ends)
[Back to the Top]
I am lost in the see-thru, I 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,
'Cause 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,
'Cause 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,
'Cause this is real
And you would see right through that,
In the end it's all I've got, So I'm gonna hold onto that,
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on and on,
(Chorus Ends)
Got me waiting just to see, If it goes the way it never will,
Your eyes are watching me, and now you've got me thinking 'bout,
The first time that I met you, Standing in a crowded room,
But I could only see you, And I hope my words will get through,
'Cause now I can't forget you, I want to tell you,
If only I could reach you, And make you feel this way,
But you said...
(Chorus)(Chorus Ends)
[Back to the Top]
I'm sitting here, I'm thinking back to a time when I was young,
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
