    The Young And The Hopeless

    by: Good Charlotte

    Hard days made me
    Hard nights shaped me
    I don't know they somehow saved me
    And I know I'm making something
    Out of this life they call nothing
    I take what I want
    Take what i need
    You say it's wrong, but it's 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 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 I'm young and I'm hopeless
    I'm lost and I know this
    I'm going nowhere fast thats what they say
    I'm troublesome I've fallen
    I'm angry at my father
    It's me against this world and I don't care
    I don't care
    No one in this industry
    Understands the life I lead
    When I sing about my past
    It's 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
    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 I'm young and I'm hopeless
    I'm lost and I know this
    I'm going nowhere fast thats what they say
    I'm troublesome I've fallen
    I'm angry at my father
    It's me against this world and I don't care
    I don't care. I don't care... and now I don't care
    I'm young and I'm hopeless
    I'm lost and I know this
    I'm going nowhere fast thats what they say
    I'm troublesome I've fallen
    I'm angry at my father
    It's me against this world and I don't care
    I don't care
    I don't care
