Yeah, this song is dedicated [this is Good Charlotte]
To every kid who ever got picked last in gym class, this is for you [yeah, 1999, 2000 Eternal]
To every kid who never had a date to no school dance, this is for you [you know what I'm saying]
To everyone whose ever been called a freak, this is for you [come with me!]
Here we, [what]
Here we go! [come with me, what]

Yeah, what, what [you all know what i'm talking about]
Come on, what [you all know what i'm saying, oh]

Ohhh. . . [come on]
Ohhh. . . [let's do this]
Ohhh. . .
Ohhh. . . [where my people at]
Here we go

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 still laughed at us [you still suck]
Like the time that girl broke up with me
'Cause I wasn't cool enough [trick!]

Things. . .
Things. . . [let's go]
Here we go!

: : ChOrUs : :
The little things, little things, they always hang around
The little things, little things, they try to break me down
The little things, little things, they just won't go away
The little things, little things, made me who I am today [go]
You wanna hate me now, but I won't stop now, 'cause I can't stop now

What, come on, what [oh]
Here we go

Like the time mom went to that institute
'Cause she was breakin' down [I just cant 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 [I'll see you guys later]
We checked his room, his things were gone
We didn't see him no more [dick!]

Things . . .
Things . . .
Here we go!

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

What, what, what, what [here we go]

Little things, little things, little things, little things [ohhh . . . ]
Little things, little things, little things, little things [ohhh . . . ]
Little things, little things, little things, little things [ohhh . . . ]
Little things, little things, little things, little things [ohhh . . . ]

Ohhh . . .
Ohhh . . .
Ohhh . . .
Ohhh . . .
Here we go

And it always seems those little things they take the biggest part of me
It always seems those little things they take the biggest part of me
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
Breakdown, I'm breaking down
Beakdown [Good Charlotte 1999, 2000 Eternal]
Gotta maintaine

*WaRLdOrF WoRLdWiDe*

You heard me?
Warldorf/Naptown Worldwide
What?!
Come on, get up, get up, get up
Come on

Yeah, break it, break it down

: : ChOrUs : :
Everything's gonna be alright now, everything's gonna be alright
Get down, stay up all night now, let's do this one more time
Everything'll be alright, alright

Bring it in, bring it in, what?!
Bring in the verse

Listen up 'cause there ain't nothin' funny
I want a hot girl and a little bit of money
I want a little house where my band can live
'Cause we're tired of movin' 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 we'll sing it all night [sing it!]

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

All I wanna do is kick the welfare, all I wanna do is get my share
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'

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

We'll be self-made millionaires
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, "Oh, yeah, that's fine!"
Everything's gonna be alright now
Everybody say it one more time
Everything'll be alright, alright!
Alright . . .
Alright . . .
We'll see you when we get there [alright . . .]
We'll see you when we get there [alright . . .]
On the video, or the radio, in the magazines, on the movie screens

*ThE MoTiVaTiOn PrOcLaMaTiOn*

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
But I never said that everything would be ok
And I never said that we would live to see another day-ay-ay

: : ChOrUs : :
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
If I fall down, would you come around
And pick me right up off the ground

I'm realistic, but not sadistic
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 . . .

'Cause I never said that everything would be ok
And I never said that we would live to see another day-ay-ay

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

Right up off the ground
Pick me right up off the ground
Yeah [oh]
Yeah . . .

'Cause everything it'll be ok
You know we're gonna live to see another day-ay-ay
Yeah . . . yeah . . .

Motivate me. . . yeah [I wanna get myself out of this!]
Motivate me. . . yeah [I wanna get myself out of this!]
Motivate me. . . yeah [I wanna get myself out of this!]
Motivate me. . . yeah [I wanna get myself out of this, now!]

*EaSt CoAsT AnThEm*

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 that you'll never understand

: : ChOrUs : :
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
There's a place inside my mind
Yeah, a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind, we leave today
You know

Wouldn't it be perfect if I could sit with you?
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, but we're not changin' anything

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

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
There's a place inside my mind
Yeah, a place you'll never find
There's a place inside my mind, we leave today
You know

*FeStIvAL SoNg*

Uh!

Don't care about a thing today, 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

Come on [uh]

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

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

Your future's no future
Your future's no future
Your future's no future
I control my future

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat 2x]

I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there
I'll be there, tonight!

*CoMpLiCaTeD*

[one, two]
Uh
Alright, here we go [yeah, down]
One time for your mind, your body and your soul
Everytime that I rhyme, you know I'm in control, alright [what]
Here we go [what]
Here we go
Here we go

And we've been here for so many years [uh]
But still it seems as if you're not there [what, are you there?]
Well, everytime I talk, you turn away [come on, do you care?]
But isn't Dad an obligation to care? [and we said]

: : ChOrUs : :
And we've been here for so many years
So many years still it seems [so what?]
So complicated [uh, yeah]
You're overrated [well, alright]
You're complicated [uh]
Well, this feeling is low

[break it in, now]
Well I came in the door, yeah, I've said it before
I'll never let the stress get me down no more [what]
I'm giving thanks to the Lord, you know I pray every day [yeah]
I'm giving shots to my peeps and this is what we say [and we said]

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

You left us one little room with a black and white TV [ahhh . . .]
One eviction notice and a bill for therapy
You're living all alone, you're like a dog without a bone [ahhh . . .]
I said you're living all alone because you left us all at home
Well you had a second chance but you threw it all away [ahhh . . .]
A fourth and fifth and sixth but that was yesterday
Now you're sitting at a bar, you're just a'drowning in your tears [ahhh . . .]
Lonely in your corner while everybody cheers
And we said

And we've been here for so many years
So many years still it seems

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

*SeAsOnS*

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 . . .
I want to fall in love tonight
And I . . .
Remember when you said, "Everything is 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 it
I just want one more night with you

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

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

: : ChOrUs : :
I . . .
I want to fall in love tonight
I . . .
Remember when you said, "Everything is gonna be alright"
Alright

I . . . [I wanna fall in love]
I . . . [I wanna fall in love, tonight]

*DoN't WaNnA StOp*

Go!
Yeah, yeah

[one, two]
All these games you play, you're messin' with my head [you're 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 [well, this ain't no game]
Yeah we'd make great friends, but it just isn't the same, oh

: : ChOrUs : :
And I know this is not the way it should be
And I know you treat him like me
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

Now I don't need you to buy me pretty things (you don't pay for me)
Pay for my tattoos or buy me diamond rings (we don't want those things)
Well all I know is that I'm happy to see you smile (I wannna see you smile)
And it'd make my day if you just stay for awhile (won't you stay with me)

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

This gone on for way too long
And I'm tired of movin' on
This gone on for way too long

This gone on for way too long
And I'm tired of movin' on
This gone on for way too long

: : ChOrUs : :
And I know this is not the way it should be
And I know you treat him like me
But I don't . . .
Wanna stop

*I HeArD YoU*

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 heard you, I heard you]
I don't want you [I heard you say . . .]
I don't want you [ heard you, I heard you]
I don't want you [I heard you say . . .]

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 all your cool friends
They're really cool, I get the point

: : ChOrUs : : [repeat]

Today I screwed up again
You said . . .
Uh-huh
In my head
I'm feeling like I'm not fitting in
I know that I'm not fitting in with you
And your friends, I get the point!

: : ChOrUs : :
I don't want you [I heard you, I heard you]
I don't want you [I heard you say . . .]
I don't want you [ heard you, I heard you]
I don't want you [I heard you say . . .]
I get the point!

*WaLk By*

Rock 'n roll!
Yeah, uh!
Come on
Yeah, uh!
Let's go!

She walks down to the store at eight
The Devil walks with her and he thinks she's great
And when she looks at me, I don't know what I saw
I think he's tryin' to make me his son-in-law

: : ChOrUs : :
When she walk by, walk by, walk by, she walked on by
Walk by, walk by, walk by, she walk on by

Let's go!
Yeah!

Egos fly and 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 : : [repeat]

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
And when you're fallin' down, you're going straight to hell"

Yeah, whoo!
Come on!
Yeah . . .

Walk by, walk by, walk by, I'm gonna walk on by
Walk by, walk by, walk by, I'm gonna walk on by

Let's go!

Walk on by, walk on by, walk on by, walk on by . . .

*LeT Me Go*

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

: : ChOrUs : :
You said you'd let me go
Have some fun
Well my decision sucks to you
But I'm so young

We'd hang out late and fight 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 : : [repeat]

Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na

*ChAnGe*

Oh . . .
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on

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 change the way you feel [well, 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
On and on and on and on and on and on and on

Now you've got me watching your eyes [watching you to see, watching you to see]
Got me waiting just to see [if you'll ever look at me]
If it goes the way it never will [will it ever go, will it ever go my way]
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 : :
You can change the way you feel [well, 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 and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on . . .

On . . .
On and on and on
On . . .
On and on and on
On. . .

*ThAnK YoU, MoM*

Always, always, and forever
Always, always, and forever

I'm sitting here and 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'll say

: : ChOrUs : :
Said, I thank you, will always thank you
More than you would know, than I could ever show
And I love you, will always love you
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
That you're beautiful forever

Always, always, and 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

: : ChOrUs 2 : :
Said, I thank you, will always thank you
More than you would know, than I could ever show
And I love you, will always love you
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you
That you will live forever

Forever and ever
Forever and ever

Said, I thank you, will always thank you
More than you would know, than I could ever show
And I love you, will always love you
There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you

: : ChOrUs 2: : [repeat]
