Good Charlotte - The Young And The Hopeless Lyrics | SongMeanings

Good Charlotte – The Young And The Hopeless

Hard days make me
Hard nights shake me
I don't know this soul must save me
And i know im making something out of this life they call nothing
Take what i want
take what i need
they 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 pace
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 im falling
im angry at my father
its me agaisnt this world and i dont care
i dont care

And 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 trustfront kids
trying 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 pace
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 and falling
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 and falling
im angry at my father
its me agaisnt this world and i dont care
i dont care. i dont care. i dont care.

    General CommentBright Eyes...you should follow what you preach because who is the 'shallow' one when you are judging members in this band because how they dress doesn't match their music? Who cares? Just let them dress how they want and play what they wanna play. And another thing, you should let people judge if they want to buy this cd for themselves because different things effect different people differently. I admit some good charlotte songs aren't that deep and emotional but there are also some that are. If their music and lyrics makes 1, just 1, persons day better than I wouldn't exactly call it 'worthless trash'. If you are going to judge a band because they have a few bad songs and because they are played on MTV, than that is the just as pathetic as someone listening to the band for an image.

    You want to know the 'epitome of everything I hate'? When people will judge a band or artist because they are 'selling out' by being played on MTV because in doing that all that person is doing is conforming to the nonconformist. Just get a life and let people form their own opinions about about this cd. Its one thing to say I dont like this band but its another to acuse every single person who buys this cd and enjoys only likes it for the image. That crap and you know it.

    General CommentOk let me start this off by saying, this whole argument u guys have going about whether or not this band is good is pointless and pretty immature. The fact of the matter is, this website wasnt created for people to bitch and moan about whether or not someone is good or bad, its about saying what u think a certain peice of music MEANS. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions about music, but that doesnt mean its ok to vent ure frustrations where they dont belong...speak ure mind elsewhere.

    Now, i think this song is basically talking about what its like to be famous and have people bashing on them jus cuz their not a fan, but they wont ever say nething to their face when it comes down to it.
