The Young And The Hopeless

 

Hard days made me
Hard nights shaped me
I don't know they somehow saved me
And i know im making something out of this life they call nothing
i Take what i want
take what i need
you say it's wrong, but its right for me
I wont look down
Wont say im sorry
I know that only god can judge me


[Chorus]
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 im young and im hopeless
im lost and i know this
im going nowhere fast thats what they say
im troublesome i've fallen
im angry at my father
its me against this world and i dont care
i dont care


no one in this industry
understands the life i lead
when i sing about my past
its 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 street they got nothing to say


[Chorus]
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 im young and im hopeless
im lost and i know this
im going nowhere fast thats what they say
im troublesome i've fallen
im angry at my father
its me agaisnt this world and i dont care
i dont care i dont care...and now i dont care
oooooo ooooo oooooo


im young and im hopeless
im lost and i know this
im going nowhere fast thats what they say
that im troublesome i've fallen
im angry at my father
its me agaisnt this world and i dont care
i dont care. i dont care. i dont care.

I Just Wanna Live

 

I need an alarm system in my house
So I know when people are creeping about
These people are freaking me out (these days)
It's getting hectic everywhere that I go
They wont leave me alone
There's things they all wanna know

I'm paranoid of all the people I meet
Why are they talking to me?
And why can't anyone see?

I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live ("just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live" {x2})

I rock a law suit when I'm going to court
A white suit when I'm getting divorced
A black suit at the funeral home
And my birthday suit when I'm home alone
Talking on the phone got an interview
With the Rolling Stone they're saying
"Now you're rich and now you're famous fake ass girls all know your name
And Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous your first hit aren’t you ashamed"
Of the life, of the life, of the life we’re living

I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live

Stop your messing around boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans boy
Said every one of my teachers
Look out better play it safe you'll never know what hard times will come your way
We say where we're coming from
We've already seen the worst that life can bring

Now we get expect it everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah we already know

I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live ("just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live")
I just wanna live ("just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live")
I just wanna live ("just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live")
I just wanna live ("just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live")
I just wanna live

 Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous

 

Always see it on TV
or read it in magizines
Celebrities that 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
walking 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

Did you know if you were famous you could kill your wife?
And there's no such thing as twenty-five-to-life
As long as you got the cash to pay for Cochren
Did you know if you were caught and you were smoking crack
McDonalds would'nt 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, rob them)

(they would fall, 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 the 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
Lifestyles of the rich and famous

 Boys And Girls

 

Wondering

 

{Refrain:}
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

Go!

Yeah, yeah

Since I was a young man
I never was a frontman
I never had a plan and no security then
Ever since I met you
I never could forget you
I only get you right here next to me

'Cause everybody (a-whoa-oh-oh)
Needs someone that they can trust in
And you're somebody (a-whoa-oh-oh)
That I found just in time

{au Refrain}

Now my life is changing
It's always rearranging
Always gettin' 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-whoa-oh-oh)
Needs someone that they can trust in
And you're somebody (a-whoa-oh-oh)
That I found just in time

{au Refrain}

Go!

Yeah, yeah {x2}

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

{au Refrain, x2}
