2. 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 mind 
 
Do you really wanna be like them, do you really wanna be another trend 
Do you wanna be part of that crowd. 
'Cause I don't ever wanna.  
I don't ever wanna be you..... 
 
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 
 
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 just like you 
 
This is the anthem 
Throw all your hands up 
 
Another loser whit you (wo, oh)  
Another loser with you (wo, oh) 
Another loser with you (wo, oh) 
Another loser with you 
 
 
 
 
 
3. Lyfestyles of the rich and the famous 
 
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,  
Talkin' about,  
How hard life can be,  
 
I'd like to see them spend a week,  
Living life out on the streets,  
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,  
 
Did you no if you were famous you could kill your wife,  
And there's no such thing as 25 to life,  
As long as you got the cash to pay for Cochran,  
Did you know if you were caught,  
And you were smokin' crack,  
McDonalds 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,  
Living life out on the streets,  
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 complain', always complainin',  
If money is such a problem,  
Well they got mansions,  
Think we should rob them,  
 
Lifestyles of the rich and the famous,  
We'll take 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. 
 
 
 
4. Wondering 
 
If you want me to wait, I would 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 
 
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... needs somone that they can trust and... 
You're somebody... that I found just in time 
If you want me to wait, I would 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 always rearranging 
It 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... needs somone that they can trust and.. 
You're somebody... that I found just in itime 
If you want me to wait, I would 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 
 
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 would 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 
If you want me to wait, I would 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 
 
 
 
 
5. The story of my old man 
 
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 got htat 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 me that he loved me and that I would go far 
Showed me how to work hard and to 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 yo udo 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 his wife) 
Remember the days when he had everything(everything) 
Now he's along and miserable again 
 
 
 
 
6. 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 boy, 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 want if she is willing to please 
His type of girl always comes with a fee 
Hey now there's nothing for free 
 
Girls don't like boy, 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 boys 
The girls with the bodies like the boys with Ferraris 
Girls don't like boy, girls like cars and money 
 
Girls don't like boy, 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 boys 
The girls with the bodies like the boys with Ferraris 
Girls don't like boy, girls like cars and money 
 
All of these boys and all of these girls are losing their souls in a material world 
All of these boys and all of these girls are losing their souls in a material world 
All of these boys and all of these girls are losing their souls in a material world 
All of these boys and all of these girls are losing their souls in a material world 
 
 
 
 
7. 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 time to hear you cry 
 
When you mourn the death of your bloody valentine 
The night he died 
You mourned the death of your bloody valentine 
One last time 
 
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 
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 you bloody valentine 
One last time 
 
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 stood outside of 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 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......! 
 
 
 
 
8. Hold on 
 
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 bare 
 
But we all bleed the same way as you do 
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 looking for 
But you don't want to no more 
And you're not sure what you're waiting for but you don't want to no more 
 
But we all bleed the same way as you do 
WWe all have the same th ings 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... 
 
 
 
 
9. Riot Girl 
 
She's got tattoos and piercings  
She like 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 angry at the world 
 
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 fun for cover 
My girl's a hot girl 
Riot girl and she's taking on the world

10. Say anything 
 
Here I am on the phone again and... 
Awkward silences 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 
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 could make it through 
So here we are again same old argument 
Now I am wondering if they will ever change 
When will you laugh again, laugh like you did back when  
We'd make noise till 3 a.m.  
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 yu 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 falling, I'm falling, I'm falling down 
I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling 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 
 
 
 
 
11. The day that I die 
 
One day I woke up woke up knowing today is the day I will die 
Cashdogg 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 
A wrote her a letter 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 died 
Can you feel the cold tonight  
It sets in but it's alright 
Darkness falls I'm letting go 
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 
Can you feel the cold tonight  
It sets in but it's alright 
Darkness falls I'm letting go 
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 
Can you feel the cold tonight  
It sets in but it's alright 
Darkness falls I'm letting go 
All alone but I feel just fine 
Did I live it right? 
I hope i lived it right, I know I lived it right 
Did I live it right? 
I hope i lived it right, I know I lived it right 
 
 
 
 
 
12. The young and the hopeless 
 
Hard days make me hard nights shape me 
I don't know they somehow saved 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 thru 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 
Im lost and i know this 
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say 
Im troublesome im fallen 
Im angry at my father 
Its 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 
Its not a gimmick 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 
 
And if I make it thru 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 
Im lost and i know this 
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say 
Im troublesome im fallen 
Im angry at my father 
Its me against this world and i don't care 
i don't care 
 
Cause I'm young and i'm hopeless 
Im lost and i know this 
Im going nowhere fast thats what they say 
Im troublesome im fallen 
Im angry at my father 
Its me against this world and i don't care 
i don't care 
 
 
 
 
13. Emotionless 
 
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?  
 
But we're all right  
We're all right  
 
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 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  
 
The days I spent so cold, so hungry  
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  
 
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 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  
 
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 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  
 
And sometimes  
I forgive  
And this time  
I'll admit, that I miss you, miss you  
Hey dad 
 
 
 
 
 
14. 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 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. 
 
Life. 
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. 
 
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 calling 
Out to someone else to help me 
Make it through. 
 
Not everyone knows, but everybody goes to a better place. 
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. 
 
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 on 
And we got nothing to prove 
To anyone 
Cause we'll get through 
We're movin on and on and on and 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!
