Album”The young and the hopeless”Lyrics

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

`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

"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 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 min

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,no I don`t ever wanna be

You...don`t wanna be just like you

What I`m saying is this is the anthem throw all your hands up,you,don`t wanna be you

Shake it one,that`s fine

Shake it twice,that`s OK

Shake it three times,you`re playin`with yourself again

You...don`t wanna be just like you

What I`m saying is this is the anthem throw all your hands up,

Y`all got to fell 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`ll 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)

Another loser anthem(Whoa-oh)

Lifestyles of the rich & famous

Always see it on TV or read it in the magazines

Celebrities want sympathy

All the do is piss and moan inside the Rollin` Stone

Talkin`about how hard life can be

I`d like to see them spend the week livin` life out on the street

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 & 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 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 were smokin`crack

McDonald`s wouldn`t even want to 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 street

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)

Chorus

Lifestyles of the rich & 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 & famous

We`ll take your clothes,cash cards,and homes just stop complainin`

Lifestyles of the rich & famous X3

Wondering

If you want me to wait,I would wait for you

If you tell me to stay,Iwould stay right through

If you don`t wanna say anythin`at all

I`m happy wonderin`

Go!

Yeah,yeah

Since I was a young man I never was a fun man

I never had a plan and no security

Then ever since I met you I never could forget you

I only wanna get you right here next to me

`Cause everybody(a-whoa-oh-oh)

Needs someone that they can trust and...

And you`re somebody(a-whoa-oh-oh)that I found just in time

chorus:If you want me to ,I would wait for you

If you want me to stay,I would stay right through

If you don`t wanna say anything at all

I`m happy wonderin`

Now my life is changin`,it`s always rearrangin`

Always gettin`stranger than I thought it ever could

Ever since I found you,I wanna be around you

`Cause everybody(a-whoa-oh-oh)

Needs someone that they can trust and...

And you1re somebody(a-whoa-oh-oh)that I found just in time

Chorus

Go!

yeah,yeah,ywah,yeah

Don`t tell me the bad news

Don`t tell me anythin`at all

Just tell me that you need me

And stay right here with me

Chorus(X2)

The Story of my old man

I don`t know 2 much about,too much of my old man

I know he walked right out the door we never saw him again

Last I heard he was at the bar doin`himself in

I know I got that same disease,I guess I got that from him

Chorus:

This the story of my old man

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

Monday he woke up and hated life

Drank until Wednesday and left his wife

Thursday through Saturday lost everything

Woke up on Sunday miserable again

I remember baseball games and working on tha car

He told me that he loved me and that I would go for

Showed me how to work hard and stick up for myself

I wish he wasn`t too hard to listen to himself

Chorus

Again...again...

Someday he`ll wish that he made things right(made things right)

Long for his family and miss his wife(miss his wife)

Remember the days he had everything(everything)

Girls & Boys

Educated with money

He`s well dressed not funny

And not much to say in most conversations

But he`ll foot the bill in all 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

Paper or plastic,

Don`t matter she`ll have it

Vacations and shopping sprees these are a few of her favourite things

She`ll get what she wants if she`s willin` 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 & 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 boys with Ferraris

Girls don`t like boys ,girls like cars and money

Let`s go!

Chorus

All of these boys,and get all of these girls

Are losin`their souls in a material world X4

My 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 my time to hear you cry

When you mourn the death of your bloody valentine

One last time

Singing...

Chorus:

Oh my love please don`r 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 that night and

The headlines read"a lover died"

No tell-tale heart was left to find

When you mourn the death of your bloody valentine

The night he died

You mourned the death of your bloody valentine

One last time

Chorus

Tonight...

Bridge:

He dropped you off I followed him home

Then 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

Chorus

 Hold On

This world,this world is cold

But you don`t have to go

You`re feeling sad

You`re feelin` lonely

And noone seems to care

You`re mother`s gone and your father hits you

This pain you cannot bare

But we all bleed the same ways as you do

We all have the same things to go through

Chorus:

Hold on...if you feel like lettin`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 lookin`for

But you don`t want to no more

And you`re not sure what you`re waitin` 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

chorus

Hold on...if you feel like lettin`go

Hold on...it gets better than you know

Don`t stop lookin`you`re one step closer

Don`t stop searchin`it`s not over...hold on

What are you looking for?

What are you waiting for?

Do you know what you`re doin`to me?

Go ahead...what are you waitin`for?

Chorus

Riot Girl

She`s got tattos and piercings

She likes Minor Threat,she likes Social Distortion

My girl`s a hot girl

A hood rat who needs an attitude adjustment

Christina wouldn`t wanna meet her

She hates you Britney so you better run for cover

My girl`s a hot girl

A riot girl and she`s angry at the world

chorus:

Emergency call 911,

She`s pissed off at everyone

Police,Rescue,FBI she wants a riot,she wants a riot

And everywhere we go she gets us thrown out constantly

But that`s OK`cause I know,I know

I know my baby would do anything for me,yeah

Christina wouldn`t wanna meet her

She hates you Britney so you better run for cover

My girl`s a hot dirl

A riot girl and she`s angry at the world

Chorus

Bridge:

Don`t you know that I really want is you

Gotta know that I really want is you

Chorus:

Emergency call 911,

She`s pissed off at everyone

Police,Rescue,FBI she wants a riot,she wants a riot(X2)

 Say Anything

Here I am on the phone 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 fightin` startin`up again

All the things we talk about you know they stay on my mind,on my mind

All the things we laugh about will 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

If you 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

Now  I`m wonderin` if they ever change

When will you laugh again,laugh like you did back when

We`d make noise til 3:00 AM

And the neighbors would complain

All the things we talk about you know they stay on my mind,on my mind

All the things we laugh about will 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

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 just give me a sign,say anything,say anything

(Please don`t leave)

Don`t say a word,I know you feel the same

Just give me a sign,say anything,say anything

(Please don`t leave)

Please don`t walk away,I know you wanna stay

     The day that I die

One day I woke up,woke up of knowing today is the day I will die

Cashdogg was barking went to the park and enjoyed that one last time

Called my mother told her I loved her and begged her not to cry

Wrote her a letter that said I`d miss her and signed that good bye...

You know the happiest day of my life

I swear the happiest day of my life is the day that I die

(The day that I died)

Can you feel the cold tonight?

(The day that I died)

It sets in but it`s alright)

(The day that I died)

Darkness falls I`m lettin` go

(The day that I died)All alone but I feel fine

We took a drive and we drove through D.C.

To see the places we lived,long 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?

You know the happiest day of my life I swear the happiest day of my life

Is the day that I died

(The day that I died)

Can you feel the cold tonight?

(The day that I died)

It sets in but it`s alright

(The day that I died)

Darkness falls I`m lettin`go

(The day that I died)

All alone but I feel just fine

You know the happiest day of my life

I know the happiest day of my life

I swear the happiest day of my life is the day that I died

(The day that I died)

Can you feel the cold tonight?

(The day that I died)

It sets in but it`s alright

(The day that I died)

Darkness falls I`m lettin`go

(The day that I died)

All alone but I feel just fine

Did I live it right?

I hope I lived it right

I hope I lived it right,I know I lived it right

Did I live it right?

The young & the hopeless

Hard days made me,hard nights shaped me

I don`t know they somehow saved me

And I know I`m makin`somethin`out of this life they called nothing

I take what i want

Take what I need

You say it`s 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

And if I make it through today  will tomorrow be the same

Am I just runnin`in place?

And if I stumble and I fall

Should I get up and carry on or will it all just be the same

Chorus:

`Cause I`m young and I`m hopeless

I`m lost and I know this

I`m goin`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

Noone 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 streets they got nothing to say

And if i make it through the day will tomorrow be the same

Am I just runnin` in place

And if I stumble and I fall

Should I get up and carry on or will it all just be the same

Chorus

Emotionless

Hey Dad I`m writin`to you

Not to tell you,that I still hate you

Just to ask you how you feel?

And how this felt 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 alright

We`re alright

WE`re alright

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 alright

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 learnin` how to survive

Now I`m writing just to let you know that I`m still alive

The days I spent so cold,so hungry,were full of hate

I was so angry,these scars run deep inside,this tatooed body

There`s things I`ll take it to my grave,but I``m OK,I`m OK

Chorus: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 alright

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

And sometimes I forgive,yeah

And this time I`ll admit that I miss you,said I miss you

Chorus

And sometimes I forgive,yeah and this time I`ll admit

That i miss you,I miss you

Hey Dad.

Movin`On

When I think about my life

I wonder if I will survive to live to see in 25 or will I just fall?

Like all my friends,they just keep dying

People `round me always crying

In this place that I like to call my home

Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place

Not everybody knows that everyone could be livin`their last days

But the hard times will come,and we`ll keep movin`on,we`re movin`on

Keep movin`on

Life,hope,truth.trust,faith,pride,love,lust

On without the things we`ve lost

The things we`ve gained we`ll take with us

And all I`ve got are 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 callin`

Out to someone else to help me it through

Not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place

Not everybody knows that everyone could be livin`their last days

But the hard times will come,and we`ll keep moving on,we`re moving on

Keep movin`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 dying

This is living!

Said we`re movin`,and we got nothin`to prove

To anyone `cause we`ll get through

We`re movin`on and on and on and on...

Keep movin`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`.
