Little Things Lyrics

[Intro: Joel Madden (Benji Madden)]

Yeah, this song is dedicated (this is Good Charlotte) to every kid who ever got picked last in gym class (y'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 who's ever been called a freak (y'all know what I'm saying)

This is for you, (what?) here we, here we go

Yeah, what uh, come on

Yeah, what uh, come on, come on

Oh, whoa, come on

Oh, whoa

[Verse 1]

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!

[Pre-Chorus]

Things, things, here we go!

[Chorus]

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, go!

You want to hate me now

But I won't stop now, cause I can't stop now

Yeah, what? Come on. What? Yeah, what?

Here we go

[Verse 2]

Like the time mom went to that institute cause 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 (uh, I'll see you kids later...)

We checked his room, his things were gone, we didn't see him no more, dick!

[Pre-Chorus]

Things, things, here we go!

[Chorus]

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, go!

You want to hate me now

But I won't stop now, cause I can't stop now

What! What! What! Here we go...

Little things, little things, little things, little things

Little things, little things, little things, here we go!

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

Worldwide-

WaldorfWorldwide Lyrics

[Intro]

Worldwide what?

You heard me

Waldorf, Naptown, worldwide. What?

Come on, get up, get up, get up, come on

Yeah, break it break it break it down

Tikki, tikki

[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 will be alright, alright

[Spoken]

Bring it in bring it in what? Bring in... the verse

[Verse 1]

Listen up cause there ain't nothing 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 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

With thugs and punks and any other type

Can sing this song and we'll sing it all night (sing it!)

[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 will be alright alright

[Verse 2]

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 shutting 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 something from nothing

It's GC baby and we're working with something

[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 will be alright alright

[Bridge]

We'll be self-made millionaires

These lives we'll lead without a care, oh yeah

And we'll see what we'll be

[Chorus]

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, alright, alright

(We'll see you when we get there)

[Outro]

On the video

Or the radio

In the magazines

On the movie screens

The Motivation Proclamation Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

But I never said that everything would be okay

And I never said that we would live to see another day, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Motivate me, I wanna get myself out of this bed

Captivate me, I want good thoughts inside of my head

If I fall down, would you come around, and pick me right up off the ground?

[Verse 2]

I'm realistic and narcissistic, 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 okay

And I never said that we would live to see another day, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

Motivate me, I wanna get myself out of this bed

Captivate me, I want good thoughts inside of my head

If I fall down, would you come around, and pick me right up off the ground?

[Bridge]

Right up off the ground

Pick me right up off the ground

Yeah, 'cause everything, it'll be okay

You know we're going to live to see another day

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]

Motivate me (I wanna get myself outta this)

East Coast Anthem Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Walking 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

[Pre-Chorus]

You know

On the East Coast we ride until we die

You know

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

So we're not changing anything

[Pre-Chorus]

You know

On the East Coast we ride until we die

You know

[Chorus]

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 know

[Bridge]

Cause on the east coast, we ride

Until the day we die

[Chorus]

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

There's a place inside my mind

We'll leave today

You know

Festival Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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]

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

[Bridge]

Your future's no future

I control my future

[Chorus]

But tonight, tonight, it's over 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

But tonight, tonight, it's over 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

[Outro]

I'm leaving

Tonight!

Complicated Lyrics

[Intro]

(One) Uh, Alright, here we go (Get Down)

One time for your mind, your body and your soul

Every time that I rhyme, you know I'm in control, alright

Here we go, Here we go, Here we go

[Verse 1]

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 said

[Chorus]

And we've been here for so many years

So many years still it seems, (what?)

So complicated (yeah), you're overrated (well alright), you're complicated

This feeling is love

[Verse 2]

Well I came in the door,yeah I said it before

I never let the stress get me down no more

Giving thanks to the Lord, you know I pray every day

Give shouts to my peeps and this is what we say

And we said

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

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, I said

You're living all alone because 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 your just drowning in your tears

You're lonely in the corner while everybody cheers, and we said

[Chorus][x2]

Seasons Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Summer air reminds me of all the feelings of your love

And what it was like when we were together. (Oh)

Walking all along a beach, you were never far from my reach

And you held me through stormy weather. (Oh)

[Chorus]

And I-- I want to fall in love tonight

And I-- I remember when you said: Everything is gonna be alright

[Verse 2]

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 it

I just want one more night with yo

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

October air reminds me of all the seasons of your love

And what it was like when we were together (Oh)

The smell of fall is everywhere & though it seems I just don't care

Cause now, you've gone away

[Chorus]

I Don’t Wanna Stop Lyrics

[Intro]

(Go)

(yeea, yea)

(one, two)

[Verse 1]

All these games you play you're messing with my head

(You're messing with my head)

And I don't know why I stay, I should leave instead

(Should leave instead)

When I speak from my heart you laugh like its a game

(Well this ain't no game)

Yea we 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

(Bedu, bedu, bedu, bedu)

But I don't

I wanna stop

Don't wanna stop [7x]

[Verse 2]

No 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)

But all I know is that I'm happy to see you smile

(Wanna see you smile)

And it make my day if you would just stay for awhile

(Won't you stay with me?)

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

This gone on for way too long

And I'm tired of moving on

This gone on for way too long [2x]

And I'm tired of moving on

This gone on for way too long

[Chorus]

I Heard You Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yeah

For all the popular kids

Yeah listen up

C'mon

Get up[3x]

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 heard you, I heard you)

I don't

I heard you say not a chance, what don't you see?

I don't want you

(I heard you, I heard you)

I don't

I heard you say you're not good enough for me

[Bridge]

What

Do your thing

C'mon

[Verse 2]

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]

I don't want you

(I heard you, I heard you)

I don't

I heard you say not a chance, what don't you see?

I don't want you

(I heard you, I heard you)

I don't

I heard you say you're not good enough for me

[Verse 3]

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]

I don't want you

(I heard you, I heard you)

I don't

I heard you say not a chance, what don't you see?

I don't want you

(I heard you, I heard you)

I don't

I heard you say you're not good enough for me

[Outro]

Go, yeah

I heard you

You're not good enough for me

I heard you

C'mon

I heard you

I get the point

Walk By Lyrics

[Intro]

Rock and roll!

Yeah! Uh! C'mon!

Yeah! Uh! Let's go

[Verse 1]

She walks down to the store at 8

The devil walks with her and he thinks she's great

And when she looks at me I don't know what I saw

I think he's trying to make me his son-in-law

[Chorus]

When she walked by, walked by

Walk by, she walked on by

Walk by, walk by

Walk by, she walked on by

Let's go! Yeah!

[Verse 2]

Eagles fly when she walks by

She caught my eye on October 9th

It was 22 days before Halloween

How did I know she'd be my evil queen?

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

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

And when you're fallin' down you're goin' straight to hell!"

Let's go! Yeah! Uh! C'mon!

[Chorus]

[Outro]

Walk on by [4x]

Let Me Go Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Saying, "Let me go have some fun

Well, my decision sucks to you

But I'm so young."

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Screamer Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 burn

[Chorus]

Why is life such an issue in your mind?

Why are the answers to my problems hard to find?

So hard to find

[Verse 2]

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]

[Verse 3]

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 believes me

And you don't either

Don't tell me what to do

[Outro]

Take out the light

Take out the light, start screaming

Take out the light

Take out the light, start screaming

Yeah
