01. Little Things
Yeah this song is dedicated to every kid who ever got picked last in gym class
(This is Good Carlotte)
This is for you to every kid who never had a date to no school dance
This is for you to everyone who's ever been called a freak
(Ya know what I"m saying, Now Come with me)
This is for you
Here we
What
Here we go
(Come with me)

Ya'll know what I'm talking about

Ohhhh oh oh oh oh
Come on
Ohhhh oh oh oh oh
Let's do this
Here we go

Like the time in school when we got free lunch and the cool kids beat us up (Ruduced Lunch)
And the rich kids had convertibles and we had to ride the bus (55)
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 ‘cuz i wasn't cool enough
Trick

Things
(Come on)
Things
(Let's go...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 make me who i am today
Go
You wanna hate me now
But i won't stop now ‘cuz i can't stop now
Why
Come on
Why now?
Here we go

Like the time mom went to that institute cuz she was breaking down (I just can't 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
Check

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 make me who i am today go
You wanna hate me now
But i won't stop now ‘cuz i can't stop now
What

Go

Little things (x15)

Ohhhh oh oh oh oh
Ohhhh oh oh oh oh

And it always seems those little things they take the biggest part of me
Break down
I'm breaking down

02. Waldorf Worldwide
[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, Everything will be alright, alright

Listen up 'cause there ain't nothin' funny,
I wanna hot girl and a little bit of money,
I wanna 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 sing it all night,

[CHORUS]

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]

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 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

03. 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
Cause I never said that everything would be ok,
And I never said that we would live to see another day

[Chorus]
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 and pick me right up off the ground

I'm un-artistic, I'm un-realistic,
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

[Chorus]

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

04. 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 you'll 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, We'll leave today
You now

Wouldn't it be perfect if I could sit with you?
And we would change a thing or 2, we would change a thing or 2,
We would change the way you think, we would change the way I think,
We can't change the way they think so we're not changin' any

[Chorus]

On the eastcoast we ride, until the day we die

05. 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'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,

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]

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

[Chorus]x2

06. 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

[CHORUS]
And we've been here for so many years
So many years still it seems
So complicated,You're overrated, You're complicated, well this feeling is love

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,she know I pray every day
Giving shouts to my peeps and this is what we say

[CHORUS]

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 drowning in your tears
Lonely in the corner while everybody cheers

[CHORUS]

07. 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 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

[CHORUS]

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]

08. 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...

[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 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 diamond rings (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 here awhile (stay with me),

[Chorus]

This has gone on way too long...
And I'm tired of movin' on,

[Chorus]

09. 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 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!

[Chorus]

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!

[Chorus]

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

[CHORUS]
You go out on Friday night
I'll stay in but that's all right
'Cause I have found a click
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 click 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 to make the grade its 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(2x)

[CHORUS]

She says she'd call
But I know she won't
(She won't)
(She won't)
(but anyway)

[CHORUS]

I don't care what you say
I don't need you anyway
I'll just go about my day
But anyway x2

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

[Chorus]
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,

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

12. 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,
Sayin'

[CHORUS]
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
Sayin'

[CHORUS]

na, na, na, na, na, na, na (12x)

CHORUS(2x)

13. 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

[Chorus]
Why is life such an issue in your mind?
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find?
So hard to find, So hard to find

Don't forget to buckle when you fall
Beneath the pressure of the seconds
When your life became a screamer.
Staring at the sea, things become so small
I want movies of my dreams and pictures on my wall,
Pictures on my wall

[Chorus]

You say that I'm a dreamer
I say you're a non-believer
Take out the light, Take out the light, start screaming
I'm dreaming, I'm a dreamer
No one belives me and you don't either
Don't tell me what to do
Take out the light (x3)
Take out the light,Start screamin.
Take out the light (x3)
Take out the light, start screamin.

14. Change
Ohhhhh, On and on and on
I am lost in the see-through
I think you've 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'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
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

Now you've got me watching your eyes
Got me waiting just to see
(if you'll ever look at me)
and If it goes the way it never will
(oh,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]

15. Thank You Mom
Always, Always and Forever [x2]

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'll say, I said I thank you
I'll always thank you
More than you would 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 would 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 [x2]

[x2]
I said I thank you
I'll always thank you
More than you would 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
