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
And 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 say 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 their crowd?
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
Shake it once, that's fine
Shake it twice, that's okay
Shake it three times, you're playing with yourself again
You
Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
You
Don't wanna be just like you (just like you)
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
Y'all got to feel me, sing if you're with me
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)
Another loser anthem (Whoa-oh)

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.

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...
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time
Singin'...
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 and the
Headlines read
A lover died
No tell-tale heart was left to find when you...
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time
Singin'...
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, I stood outside 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'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
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
You're mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And 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 waiting for, but you don't want to no more
And you're not sure what you're looking for, but you don't want to no more
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And 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
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

SAY ANYTHING
Here I am on
The phone again, and
Awkward silence is
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
And all the things we laugh about
They'll 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
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 can make it through
Here we are again
The same old argument
And I'm wonderin'
If things'll ever change, yeah
When will you laugh again?
Laugh like you did back when?
We'd make noise til 3 AM and the neighbors would complain
All the things we talk about
You know they stay on my mind
On my mind
And all the things we laugh about
They'll 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
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' down
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' down
Down

Don't say a word
I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything

Say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away (Please don't leave)
I know you wanna stay

DAY THAT I DIE
One day I woke up
I woke up knowing
Today is the day I will die
Cashdogg was barking
Went to the park
And enjoyed that one last time
I called my mother
Told her I loved her
I begged her not to cry
I wrote her a letter
I 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 die
Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I died)
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone, but I feel fine (the day that I died)
We took a drive and...
We drove through DC
To see the places we lived
Our 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? (the day that I died)
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone but I feel just fine (the day that I died)
you know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
I know the happiest day of my life, is the day that I died
Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I died)
It sets, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone, but I feel fine (the day that I died)
Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right
Did I live it right?
I know I lived it right
Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right
Did I live it right?
THE YOUNG AND THE HOPELESS
Hard days make me hard nights shape me
I dunno this song might save 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 threw today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stubble 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 fallin
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 gimick 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 threw today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stubble 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 fallin
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 fallin
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and i don't care
i don't care
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
MOVING ON
When I think about my life
I wonder if I will survive
To live to see in 25 or will I just fall?
I call my friends, they just keep dying.
People round me, always crying.
In this place 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 I'm so proud of 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.

Pain.

Some friends become enemies some friends become your family.
Make the best with what you're given
This ain't dyin, this is livin.
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 (etc)
Life.
Hope.

It's a new day

It's a good life,
That's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same

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...
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time
Singin'...
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 and the
Headlines read
A lover died
No tell-tale heart was left to find when you...
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time
Singin'...
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, I stood outside 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'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
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
You're mother's gone and your father hits you
This pain you cannot bear
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And 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 waiting for, but you don't want to no more
And you're not sure what you're looking for, but you don't want to no more
But we all bleed the same way as you do
And 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
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

SAY ANYTHING
Here I am on
The phone again, and
Awkward silence is
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
And all the things we laugh about
They'll 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
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 can make it through
Here we are again
The same old argument
And I'm wonderin'
If things'll ever change, yeah
When will you laugh again?
Laugh like you did back when?
We'd make noise til 3 AM and the neighbors would complain
All the things we talk about
You know they stay on my mind
On my mind
And all the things we laugh about
They'll 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
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' down
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin'
I'm fallin' 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'll just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
Don't say a word (Please don't leave)
I know you feel the same
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
Please don't walk away (Please don't leave)
I know you wanna stay
Just give me a sign
Say anything, say anything
DAY THAT I DIE
One day I woke up
I woke up knowing
Today is the day I will die
Cashdogg was barking
Went to the park
And enjoyed that one last time
I called my mother
Told her I loved her
I begged her not to cry
I wrote her a letter
I 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 die
Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I died)
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone, but I feel fine (the day that I died)
We took a drive and...
We drove through DC
To see the places we lived
Our 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? (the day that I died)
It sets in, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone but I feel just fine (the day that I died)
you know the happiest day of my life
I swear the happiest day of my life
I know the happiest day of my life, is the day that I died
Can you feel the cold tonight? (the day that I died)
It sets, but it's alright (the day that I died)
Darkness falls, I'm letting go (the day that I died)
All alone, but I feel fine (the day that I died)
Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right
Did I live it right?
I know I lived it right
Did I live it right?
I hope I lived it right
Did I live it right?
THE YOUNG AND THE HOPELESS
Hard days make me hard nights shape me
I dunno this song might save 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 threw today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stubble 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 fallin
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 gimick 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 threw today
Will tomorrow be the same
Am I just running in place
And if I stubble 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 fallin
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 fallin
Im angry at my father
Its me against this world and i don't care
i don't care
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
MOVING ON
When I think about my life
I wonder if I will survive
To live to see in 25 or will I just fall?
I call my friends, they just keep dying.
People round me, always crying.
In this place 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 I'm so proud of 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 dyin, this is livin.
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 (etc)
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 dyin, this is livin.
