1. Little things 
 
Yeah, this song is dedicated 
(this is good charlotte) 
To every kid who ever got picked last in gym class 
(you know what i'm saying, this is for you) 
To every kid who never had a date to no school dance(this is for you) 
To everyone whose ever been called a freak 
(you all know what i'm saying) 
This is for you, what 
Here we, here we go 
 
Yeah, what, come on you all know what i'm talking about  
Yeah, what you all know what i'm saying  
Come on, come on, come on  
Here we go  
 
Ohhh... come on  
Ohhh... let's do this  
 
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...  
Here we go  
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  
 
You wanna hate me now 
But i wont stop now 
'cause i can't stop now  
 
Yeah, what come on  
What  
Yeah what  
Come on, come on  
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 (uhhh... see you kids later)  
We checked his room, his things were gone  
We didn't see him no more (dick!)  
 
Things...things... 
Here we go  
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  
 
You wanna hate me now 
But i wont stop now 
'cause i can't stop now  
 
What, what, what  
Here we go  
Here we go  
 
The little things, little things, little things,little things  
Little things,little things,little things,little things  
Little things,little things,little things,little things (ohhh...)  
Little things,little things,little things (ohhh...)  
Here we go  
ohhh...  
ohhh...  
And it always seem those little things they take the biggest parts of me (ohhh...)  
Breakdown (ohhh...)  
I'm breaking down  
I'm breaking down 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2. Waldorfworldwide 
 
Listen up cause there ain't nothin funny 
I wanna hot girl and a little bit of money 
I wanna a little house where my band can live 
Cause we're tired of moving 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 up sing it all night 
(signing) 
 
Everything's gonna be alright now 
Everythin's gonna be alright 
Everything will be alright, alright 
 
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 telling 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 
 
Everything's gonna be alright now 
Everybody say ah yeah that's right 
Everything's gonna be alright now 
 
We'll be self-made millionares 
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 ah yeah that's right 
Everything's gonna be alright now 
Everybody say it one more time 
Everything will be alright, alright 
 
We'll see you when we get there 
We'll see you when we get there 
On the video 
Or the radio 
In the magazines 
On the movie screens 
 
 
 
3. 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. 
 
Cuz I never said that everything would be okay, 
And I never said that we would live to see another day. 
Yeah, yeah... 
 
Motivate me 
I wanna get myself out of this bed. 
Captivate me 
I want good thoughts inside of my head. 
When I fall down would you come around 
Pick me right up off the ground? 
When I fall down would you come around 
Pick me right up off the ground? 
 
Im realistic, and narsosistic 
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.... 
 
Cuz I never said that everything would be ok, 
I never said that we would live to see another day... 
Yeah, yeah... 
 
Motivate me 
I wanna get myself out of this bed. 
Captivate me 
I want good thoughts inside of my head. 
When I fall down would you come around 
Pick me right up off the ground? 
When I fall down would you come around 
Pick me right up off the ground? 
 
Right up off the ground... 
Pick me right up off the ground...Yeah... 
Yeah... 
 
Cuz everything would be ok, 
You know I'm gonna live to see another day, 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah... 
 
Motivate me.....yeah... 
(I wanna get myself out of this) {x3} 
Motivate me.....yeah... 
(I wanna get myself out of this bed) 
 
 
4. East Coast Anthem 
 
Walkin on the streets of DC, on the East Coast 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 never understand 
 
You know-on the East Coast we ride until we die 
You know, oh oh oh 
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 
you know 
 
And Wouldn't it be perfect, if I could sit with you? 
And we would change a thing or two, we'd 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 
 
You know-on the East Coast we ride until we die 
You know, oh oh oh 
there's a place inside my mind, yeah a place you'll never find 
theres a place inside my mind leave today you know 
 
Cuz on the East Coast we ride, until the day we die 
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 
theres a place inside my mind leave today 
you know 
 
 
 
5. Festival song 
 
I 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 got responsibility 
That is my liability 
A menace to society 
At least that's what they say to me 
 
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 
 
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 got responsibility 
That is my liability 
I'm questioning authority 
They say there's not a chance for me 
 
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 
 
Your future's no future 
Your future's no future 
Your future's no future 
I control my future 
 
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 
 
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 
 
I'm lived, I'm lived, I'm lived, 
Tonight 
 
 
 
6. Complicated 
 
And we've been here for so many years,  
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  
 
And we've been here for so many years,  
So many years still it seems,  
So complicated, overrated, complicated,  
This feeling is low  
 
Well I came in the door, I said it before,  
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,  
 
And we've been here for so many years,  
So many years still it seems,  
So complicated, overrated, complicated,  
This feeling is low  
 
You left us one little room with a black and white TV,  
One eviction notice, and a bill for therapy,  
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,  
 
And we've been here for so many years(so many) 
So many years still it seems(too long, too long) 
And we've been here for so many years 
So many years still it seems(Yeah, yeah, yeah) 
So complicated, overrated, complicated,  
This feeling is low  
 
Six dollars in your pocket one's a secret stash, 
Three's for alcohol ans two's for cigarettes. 
 
 
 
7. 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 
 
And I wanna fall in love 
Tonight 
And I remember when you said 
Everything's 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 
I just want one more night with you 
 
I wanna fall in love 
Tonight 
And I remember when you said 
Everything's gonna be alright 
 
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 
 
I wanna fall in love 
Tonight 
And I remember when you said 
Everything's gonna be alright 
Alright 
I wanna fall in love 
I wanna fall in love 
Tonight 
 
 
 
8. I don't wanna stop 
 
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.... 
But I don't 
I don't wanna stop 
I 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 pretty things, (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 for awhile, (stay with me) 
 
And I know this is not the way it should be 
And I know you treat him like me... 
But I don't 
I don't wanna stop 
I don't wanna stop......... 
 
This has gone on way too long... 
And I'm tired of movin' on... 
 
And I know this is not the way it should be 
And I know you treat him like me … 
But I don't 
I don't wanna stop 
I don't wanna stop......... 
 
 
 
 
9. 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! 
 
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" 
 
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! 
 
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" 
 
Today I'll give it one last try 
And then I know 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! 
 
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" 
 
Yeah...(I heard you) 
"you're not good enough for me" 
(I heard you) 
Come on! 
(I heard you) 
I get the point... 
 
 
 
 
10. The click 
 
Just because I walk 
Like Obi-Wan Kenobi 
You people talk 
But you don't even know me 
And that's all right 
'Cause I get down with GC 
So I walk on and 
Listen to their CD 
Some people laugh 
They do it just to spite me 
Behind my back 
They don't know what I see 
But I don't care what they say 
I don't need them anyway 
I'll just go about my day 
But anyway 
 
You go out on Friday night 
I'll stay in but that's all right 
'Cause I have found a clique 
To call my own in-crowd 
Out-crowd 
I don't care your crowd 
My crowd 
We can't share 
'Cause I have found 
A clique to call my own 
(Let's go) 
 
So come and talk to me 
On my computer screen 
The best years of our lives 
Aren't as easy as they seem 
But when they will look back 
And then we'll have to laugh 
They used to call us names 
Now they want our autographs 
To get the girl and make the grade 
It's all a show 
It's all a game 
And I would lose it if I played 
It's all the same 
 
So I don't care what they say 
I don't need them anyway 
I'll just go about my day 
But anyway 
 
You go out on Friday night 
I'll stay in but that's all right 
'Cause I have found a clique 
To call my own in-crowd 
Out-crowd 
I don't care your crowd 
My crowd 
We can't share 
'Cause I have found a 
Clique to call my own 
 
She says she'd call 
But I know she won't 
(She won't) 
(She won't) 
 
You go out on Friday night 
I'll stay in but that's all right 
'Cause I have found a clique 
To call my own in-crowd 
Out-crowd 
I don't care your crowd 
My crowd 
We can't share 
'Cause I have found a 
Clique to call my own 
 
I don't care what you say 
I don't need you anyway 
I'll just go about my day 
But anyway 
 
I don't care what you say 
I don't need you anyway 
I'll just go about my day 
But anyway  
 
 
 
 
11. Walk by 
 
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 
Egos 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 
 
When she 
Walks by, walks by, walks by, she walks on by 
Egos fly when she walks by 
 
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 
 
When she 
Walks by, walks by, walks by, she walks on by 
Egos fly when she walks by 
 
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 
 
 
 
12. Let me go 
 
Down in the streets outside of Washington DC 
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 
 
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 blazedup bloodshot eyes 
There was a plan for us one day we'd realize 
 
Sayin let me go, have some fun 
Well my decision sucks yeah, but I'm so young 
 
na na na na na na na.....(11 fois) 
 
Sayin let me go, have some fun 
Well my decision sucks yeah, but I'm so young 
Sayin let me go, have some fun 
Well my decision sucks yeah, but I'm so young 
 
 
 
 
14. Screamer 
 
 
Communication is a lot like the wind,  
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,  
 
Why is life such an issue in your mind ?  
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find, So hard to find ? 
 
 
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' 
 
 
 
 
 
14. Change 
 
Ohhhh... on and on and on and on and on... 
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, 
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. 
Cuz 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 
Cuz you said 
 
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 
Cuz this is real 
(And you would see right through that) 
And in the end it's all I've got 
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on and on.... 
on and on and on and on and on... 
 
Now you've got me watchin' your eyes 
(Watchin' just to see, watchin' just to see) 
Got me waitin' just to see 
(If you ever look at me) 
If it goes the way it never will, 
(When will it go, will it ever go my way?) 
Your eyes are watchin' me. 
And now you've got me thinkin' bout 
The first time that I met you. 
Standin' in a crowded room, 
But I could only see you, 
And I hope my words will get through 
Cuz now I can't forget you. 
I wanna tell you, 
If only I could reach you, 
And make you feel this way 
But you said 
 
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 
Cuz this is rea 
(And you would see right through that) 
And in the end it's all I've got 
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on and on.... 
on and on and on and on and on... 
on and on and on and on and on... 
on and on and on and on and on... 
on and on and on and on and on... 
 
 
Thank you mom 
 
Always, always and forever 
Always, always and forever 
 
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 
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 
 
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 
Forever and ever... 
Forever and ever... 
 
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 
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
