A New Beginning lyrics - Good Charlotte

(Instrumental)

The Anthem lyrics - Good Charlotte

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

At my high school, it felt more to me
Like a jail cell, a penitentiary
My time spent there 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 or 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 mind

Do you really wanna be like them
Do you really wanna be another trend
Do you wanna be part of their drill
'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 (be 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)
Another loser anthem (whoa)
Another loser anthem (whoa)
Another loser anthem

Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous lyrics - Good Charlotte

Always see it on TV
Or read it in the magazines
Celebrities want sympathy
All they do is piss and moan
Inside the Rolling 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
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 and the famous
They're always complainin'
Always complainin'
If money is such a problem
Well, they got mansions
Think we should rob them

Well, 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 you were smokin' crack
McDonald's wouldn't even wanna take you back
You could always just 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
If they could spend a day or two
Walking in someone else's 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 (rob them)

They would fall

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, cars and homes, just stop complainin'

Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Lifestyles of the rich and famous

Wondering lyrics - Good Charlotte

If you want me to wait,
I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay,
I would stay right through
If you don't wanna say,
Anything at all
I'm happy wondering

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-wha-oh-oh)
Needs someone that they can trust and,
You're somebody (a-wha-oh-oh)
That I found just in time

If you want me to wait,
I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay,
I would stay right through
If you don't wanna say,
Anything at all
I'm happy wondering

Now my life is changing
It's always rearranging
It's always getting stranger than I thought it ever could
Ever since I found you
I wanna be around you
I wanna get down to the point that I need you

'Cause everybody (a-wha-oh-oh)
Needs someone that they can trust and,
You're somebody (a-wha-oh-oh)
That I found just in time

If you want me to wait,
I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay,
I would stay right through
If you don't wanna say,
Anything at all
I'm happy wondering
Go!

Yeah, yeah
yeah, yeah

Don't tell me
The bad news
Don't tell me anything at all
Just tell me
That you need me
And stay right here with me

If you want me to wait,
I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay,
I will stay right through
If you don't wanna say,
Anything at all
I'm happy wondering

If you want me to wait,
I will wait for you
If you tell me to stay,
I will stay right through
If you don't wanna say,
Anything at all
I'm happy wondering

The Story Of My Old Man lyrics - Good Charlotte

I don't know too 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
Doing himself in
I know I've got that same disease
I guess I got that from him.

This is 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 the car
He told that he loved me
And that I would go far
Showed me how to work hard and
Stick up for myself
I wish he wasn't too hard
To listen to himself

This is 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
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)
Now he's alone and
Miserable again

Girls & Boys lyrics - Good Charlotte

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 favorite things
She'll get what she wants if she's willing to please
This type of girl always comes with a fee
Hey now, there's nothing for free

Girls don't like boys
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 boys with Ferrari's

Girls don't like boys
Girls like cars and money

Lets go

Lets go

Hey hey!

Girls don't like boys
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 boys with Ferrari's
Girls don't like boys
Girls like cars and money

All of these boys (yeah) and all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world...

All of these boys (yeah) and all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world...

All of these boys (yeah) and all of these girls
Losing their souls in a material world...

My Bloody Valentine lyrics - Good Charlotte

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 lyrics - Good Charlotte

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
Your 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 know more
You're not sure what you're looking for
But you don't want to know 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

Riot Girl lyrics - Good Charlotte

She's got tattoos and piercings
She likes Minor Threat, she likes Social Distortion
My girl's a hot girl
A hood ride 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

Emergency, call 911
She's pissed off at everyone
Police rescue, F.B.I.
She wants a riot, she wants a riot

And everywhere we go, she gets us thrown out constantly
But that's okay
'Cuz 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 girl
A riot girl and she's pickin' on the world

I said
Emergency, call 911
She's pissed off at everyone
Police rescue, F.B.I.
She wants a riot, she wants a riot
She wants a riot, she wants a riot

Don't you know that all I really want is you
Got it all and all I really want is you

Emergency, call 911
She's pissed off at everyone
Police rescue, F.B.I.
She wants a riot, she wants a riot

Emergency, call 911
She wants a riot, she wants a riot
Police rescue, F.B.I.
She wants a riot, she wants a riot

Say Anything lyrics - Good Charlotte

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 (but 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
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
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 could make it through

So here we are again, the same old argument
Now I'm wondering if things will 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
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
If you 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

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
If you just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything

The Day That I Die lyrics - Good Charlotte

One day I woke up
I woke up knowing
Today is the day I will die
Ca$hdogg was 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 good bye

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 died)
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone, but I feel fine (the day that I died)

We took a drive and
We drove through DC
To see the places we lived
Long conversations
We talked of old friends
And all the things that we did
The 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

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 letting 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 die

Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I died)
It sets, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone, but I feel fine

Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right
(day that i die)
Did I live it right?
(day that i die)
Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right
(day that i die)
I know I lived it right

[bark]
Good boy.

The Young & The Hopeless lyrics - Good Charlotte

Hard days made me, hard nights shaped me
I don't know, they somehow saved me
And I know I'm making something
Out of this life they called nothing

I take what I want, take what I need
They 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 the day
Will tomorrow be the same?
Am I just running in place?
And if I stumble 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
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast, that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I'm fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's 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
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 today
Will tomorrow be the same?
Am I just running in place?
And if I stumble 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
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast, that's what they say
I'm troublesome, I'm fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
Now, I don't care

I'm young and I'm hopeless
I'm lost and I know this
I'm going nowhere fast, that's what they say
That I'm troublesome, I'm fallen
I'm angry at my father
It's me against this world and I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

Emotionless lyrics - Good Charlotte

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 alright?

If 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
Its not okay
But we're all right
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
But those are just a long lost memory of mine
I spent so many years learning how to survive
And 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 to my grave
But I'm okay
I'm okay

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 okay
But we're all right
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
But those are just a long lost memory of mine
Now I'm writing just to let you know I'm still alive
And I'm still alive

Sometimes I forgive
Yeah, and this time
I'll admit
That I miss you
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 okay
But we're all right
I remember the days you were a hero in my eyes
Those are just a long lost memory of mine
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.

Movin' On lyrics - Good Charlotte

When I think about my life I wonder
If I will survive to live to see 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.

But not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place.
And not everybody knows that everybody could be living 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 also I've got these two hands to make myself a better man.
I wonder if I will ever see the end of this.
With all this rain it just keeps falling on my head and now I'm calling
Out to someone else to help me make it through.

But not everybody knows that everybody goes to a better place.
And not everybody knows that everybody could be living 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
Pain, hate, lies, guilt, laugh, cry, live, die.
Some friends become enemies some friends become your family.
Make the best with what you're given.
This ain't done yet, this is living!

So we're movin' on and we've got nothing to prove to anyone
Cause you'll get through
We're movin' on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on an and on and on
Keep movin' on!

Life, hope, truth, trust, faith, pride, love, lust
Pain, hate, lies, guilt, laugh, cry, live, die.
Some friends become enemies some friends become your family.
Make the best with what you're given.
This ain't done yet, this is living!
