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!!)
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,
BRIDGE
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!),
CHORUS

CHORUS
Waldorf World Wide
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',
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 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.

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,
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,
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,
CHORUS
BRIDGE
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,
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'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,
CHORUS
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,
CHORUS
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,
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
Six dollars in your pocket one's a secret stash,
Three's for alcohol and two's for cigarettes,
CHORUS
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 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,
CHORUS
I know we talked about it,
I just can't get around it,
I just want one more night with you,
CHORUS
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,
CHORUS
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 Ў
CHORUS
And I know this is not the way it should be,
And I know you treat him like me Ў
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)
CHORUS
This has gone on way too long
And I'm tired of movin' on,
CHORUS
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 6'3Ў±,
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,
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
BRIDGE
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
BRIDGE
CHORUS
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
So 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 glazed out bloodshot eyes
There was a plan for us one day we realized
So let me go have some fun
Well my decision sucks to you, but I'm so young
Nonny nonny na na na na (x 12)
So let me go have some fun
Well my decision sucks to you, but I'm so young
Let me go have some fun
Well my decision sucks to you, but I'm so young
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
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:
Why is life such an issue in your mind
Why are the answers to my problems hard to find
So hard to find
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 do
Take out the light,take out the light
Take out the light start screamin'
Change
I am lost in see-thru
I think you lost yourself too
Throughout all of this confusion
I hope I somehow get to you
And I practice all the things I'd say
To tell you how I feel
But 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
But you said
You can't change the way you feel
But you can't tell me this ain't real
'Cause this is real
In the end it's all I've got
So I'm gonna hold 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 think about
The first time that I met you
Standing in a crowded room
But I could only see you
I hope these 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
You can't change the way you feel
But you can't tell me his ain't real
'Cause this is real
In the end it's all I've got
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on
Thank You Mom
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 say, I said, I thank you,
I'll always thank you, More than you could 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, 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 could 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, always
