LITTLE THINGS
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 (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
'Cause I wasn't cool enough (TRICK!!)
Refrain:
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 won't stop now
'Cause I can't stop now
Like the time mom went to that institute
'Cause she was breakin' 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 (uhhh...see you guys later)
We checked his room
His things were gone
We didn't see him no more (DICK!)
Refrain
You wanna hate me now
But I won't stop now
'Cause I can't stop now
Refrain
WALDORFWORLDWIDE
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 another other type
Can sing this song and up sing it all night
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
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'
Refrain
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 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
MOTIVATION PROCLAMATION
Spend your lazy, endless crazy days inside my head
You're so selfish, you're not the only on 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
Refrain:
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, unrealistic, you say I'm selfish and absurd
You try to change me, you try to save, 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 ...
'Cause I never said that everything would be ok
And I never said that we would live to see another day
Refrain
'Cause everything it'll be ok
You know we're gonna live to see another day
Yeah ...yeah ...
Motivate me ... yeah
Motivate me ... yeah
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 never understand
You know - on the eastcoast
We ride until we die - you know
Refrain:
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
Wouldn't it be perfect if I could sit with you?
And we would, change a thing or two
We could 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
Refrain
On the eastcoast we ride
Until the day we die
FESTIVAL SONG
I don't care about a thing today
I used to bet 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
Refrain:
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't 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
Refrain
Your future's no future
Your future's no future
Your future's no future
I control my future
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
Refrain:
And we've been here for so many years
So many years still it seems
So complicated, overrated, complicated 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, and I pray every day
Giving shouts to my peeps and this is what we say
Refrain
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
Refrain
Six dollars in your pocket one's a secret stash
Three's for alcohol and two's for cigarettes
Refrain
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
Refrain:
And I want to fall in love tonight
And I remember when you said "everything is 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
Refrain
I know we talked about it
I just can't get around it
I just want one more night with you
Refrain
October air reminds me of all the feelings 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're gone away
Refrain
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 ...
Refrain:
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)
Refrain
This has gone on way too long ...
And I'm tired of movin' on
Refrain
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
Refrain:
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
Refrain
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
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
Refrain:
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
Refrain
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
Refrain
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
Refrain
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' ...
Refrain:
Let me go
Have some fun
Well my decision sucks yeah
But I'm so young
We'd hang out later 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
Refrain
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 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
Refrain:
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
Take out the light
Take out the light
Take out the light
Take out the light start screamin'
CHANGE
I am lost in the see-thru
I 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
'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
Refrain:
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 it goes the way it never will
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 now I hope my words will get through
'Cause now I can't forget you
I want to tell you
If I could only reach you
And make you feel this way
But you said
Refrain
